Day By Day,  Muhammad Caricatures

Day By Day April 25, 2010 – Just Talk

Day By Day by Chris Muir

Congratulations Chris! You Have just earned a Fatwa for publishing one of Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard Mohammed caricatures. Did you know Westergaard has been involuntarily retired?

Now, Comedy Central is censoring South Park after the creators (Trey Parker and Matt Stone) depicted Mohammed disguised in a bear suit.

RevolutionMuslim.com posted the warning following the 200th episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s “South Park,” which included a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad disguised in a bear suit. The Web posting also included a graphic photo of Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was murdered in 2004 after making a documentary on violence against Muslim women.

“We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show,” the posting reads. “This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.”

Reaching by phone early Tuesday, Abu Talhah al Amrikee, the author of the post, said he wrote the entry to “raise awareness.” He said the grisly photograph of van Gogh was meant to “explain the severity” of what Parker and Stone did by mocking Muhammad.

“It’s not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome,” al Amrikee said, referring to the possibility that Parker and Stone could be murdered for mocking Muhammad. “They’re going to be basically on a list in the back of the minds of a large number of Muslims. It’s just the reality.”

Looks like the radical Muslims win again. I thought in America there was something called freedom of speech.

Comedy Central bleeped out all references to the Prophet Muhammad in Wednesday night’s episode of “South Park” after receiving a warning from a radical Muslim website.

The episode was a continuation of last week’s episode which depicted Muhammad in a bear suit.

Comedy Central confirmed to FoxNews.com it had censored the show, and that the episode was not available on its website either.

In addition to bleeping the words “Prophet Muhammad,” the show also covered the character with a large block labeled “Censored.”

.Until authors, cartoonists stand up to these violent bullys this will type of intimidation will continue. So much for liberty and freedom at Comedy Central.

    Thank you for sharing this information, I wouldn´t have noticed without your article!

    I can understand the behaviour of Comedy Central. They are simply just affraid about what could happen if they wouldn´t censor (maybe they have remembered the incident in denmark.

    But it shows that they don´t stand up for liberty and freedom.

    Best Regards, Stefan from “Lifestyle-Blog”
