People who get ticked off by the slightest thing, who take life way too damn seriously.<br /><br />I, for one, would never have a depiction of Muhammad in my house. Because I'm Muslim. And I'd never support the idea that this caricature -- dirty-bearded, angry-faced, bad-teeth, bomb-turbaned Muhammad -- EVER becomes accepted in America as what Muhammad really looked like. I mean, i'm sure Christians don't feel offended by the shining, smiling, beautiful caricature of Jesus! Go figure!<br /><br />And I think that's what most of us fear by these cartoons -- that something negative get associated with our Prophet, who if you read any of the Qur'an or Hadith you'd know wasn't half so bad. Which is why I saw lots of facebook groups and chain mail around that time saying "Everybody follow Muhammad" or "Everybody NOT draw Muhammad Day" and have verses like "Say 'peace' and turn away" and "leave the unbelievers in their play" and such.<br /><br />But to be incapable of weathering Southpark ridicule without exploding (or threatening to, haha) really looks bad. None of my Muslim friends really cared about this, they were just like "that's dumb, Southpark's just being retarded" because none of them watch it! Which leaves me wondering, who are these people, that purport to be such good Muslims yet are watching the immorality and profanity of SOUTHPARK EPISODES? I mean, really.<br /><br />/rantThalibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03271533815715180454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405040046789439883.post-29416011445540578752010-05-06T12:42:07.863-04:002010-05-06T12:42:07.863-04:00Why is it OK to lampoon Jewish characters ("T...Why is it OK to lampoon Jewish characters ("They love money and are all lawyers or accountants"), Catholics ("Love little boys!"), Hindu ("Mr. Simpson, please do not taunt Ganeesha")...but not Islam?<br /><br />I'd hate to think that it's because of the implicit threat of violence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405040046789439883.post-80972733018424943362010-05-06T00:29:06.094-04:002010-05-06T00:29:06.094-04:00This consideration doesn't justify censoring t...This consideration doesn't justify censoring the closing moral message.horus kemwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984916074697401382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405040046789439883.post-79661710042304882742010-05-04T15:04:55.150-04:002010-05-04T15:04:55.150-04:00Someone made the argument that Viacom/Comedy Centr...Someone made the argument that Viacom/Comedy Central censored the episode for the safety of its many employees.
