We shouldn't piss off Muslims because they are very sensitive.

The headline says "where South Park feared to tread" Didn't Matt and Trey really have no problem going forward with this but it was the pussies running the show at Viacom that pulled the plug?

AverageAmericanGuy: We shouldn't piss off Muslims because they are very sensitive.

So what, wait a few hundred years for them to grow out of their "inquisition" phase before it's safe to treat them like Christians?

""You keep abusing Islam's almighty Prophet with disgusting and disgraceful cartoons using excuses of freedom of speech."

That doesn't sound right, a religious wackjob wouldn't add that last bit. Sounds a bit fishy.

You shouldn't poke lions with sticks. They are likely to hurt you.

That's how I remember it too. "We didn't actually censor it, the network did." I seem to remember that in an interview.

fark Allah.

do not taunt dynamite prophet

Islam doesn't really have the same tradition of religious satire that Christianity does. When all religious nut jobs can laugh at themselves, then the world will know peace.

As usual Fark "News" is a day late and a dollar short

Fark Me To Tears: A while back there was the headscarf thing. Now this. The French have really gotten feisty with Islam over the past few years, haven't they?

Chicken? Egg?

Who the fark knows. I'm certainly not on the side of banning headscarves, but Islam needs to turn the volume down if they want to participate in a first world democracy.

The headscarf thing is one of the few things I disagree with Chris Hitchens on (he supports the ban), but this horseshiat of violently attacking media outlets that dare insult Mohammed is inexcusable. It's why so many European countries have tightened their immigration policies.

They already showed Mohammed back in season 5 or something... the Super Best Friends episode. There was no hoopla because nobody made a big deal out of it.

Well, it's not viewable on Southparkstudios. Though it probably got taken down a while after the fact.

Fark a fatwa. Reprint the shiat (new window)

I'm going to have to invent a term for this... I'm going to call it faux-libertarianism. "Do whatever you want that doesn't hurt me, but you're not allowed to take offense from my actions."

I don't get why people who use free speech as a shield for insulting one's deeply held beliefs is surprised when one responds by using their free will to violently protest. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" might just be a lesson in courtesy, but don't forget courtesy is what keeps the other person from punching you in the f*cking face and laughing whenever they want, too.

You must be new here. This site is for funny headlines, boobies, and people keeping their troll/ITG acts up to date.

Funny... I don't anywhere where Fark claims to be a "News" site. In fact, it kind of claims to be the exact opposite.

the whole site?

To be fair, this site was a lot better on time of headlines when there weren't so many users.

Muslims must think God is a coward, as they are always standing in front of him fighting his battles. Apparently, in some of their twisted minds, an "insult" is intolerable, but Murder and Mayhem aren't??? Fighting for a coward may seem noble, but...yer just enabling the coward, man.

1) Responding to speech with violence is never permissible. It's part of being an adult.

2) Courtesy has nothing to do with exercising restraint. Civility, morality, or failing either of the foregoing, the rule of law hold far more sway. The pain of a punch won't last as long as an arrest record.

Actually, I missed the original broadcast, so I went to see it the next day on southparkstudios.com. It has never appeared on the website.

\wonders if it will be included in the DVD set.

Nevermind, I see from the reviews at Amazon.com, the episode is included in its heavily edited form.

From the Koran:

9:5 - "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."

8:39 "Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah."

Religion of Peace.

Same thing applies to the Bible, yes. All Abrahamic religions are farking violent xenophoboic reactionary motherfarkers. That's why they're so successful with us primates, because it's all farking monkey tribal bullshiat.

I had no idea that muslims didn't want their profit prophet to be pictured editor-in-chief.

There is a huge difference between "taking offense" and "taking retribution." The former is entirely expected, predictable even, and is the stated desirable outcome for a troll. The latter is something no civilized society should ever tolerate.

lolwut?

One does not use "free speech" to "violently protest". Those are 2 different things. Muslims are free to exercise their free speech in the US all they want. So are Christians. There is no right to violently protest.

Free will, not free speech. You shouldn't respond to speech with violence. That's not okay. But it CAN happen, and yelling "free speech!" doesn't help you when your office has been burned down. Unless it generates donations or something.

I'm certainly not defending setting fire to this place. But any time someone gets offended over something that's only maybe-offensive, a lot of people get bent out of shape about how the maybe-offending speech is necessary! and standing up for what's right! where instead, maybe just because you have the right to piss someone off doesn't mean you should do it.

so whats that new show on cable with the lady in the whatchucalit saying she has to get to some city to educate PEOPLE LIKE YOU about muslims?

Maybe if you suck up enough Drew will let you do a Miss Monica on him.

Muslims need to be deported immediately.

oldtaku: Same thing applies to the Bible

Uhh, you need to be able to pull the same quotes out of The Bible before you can say that accurately.
Nice try though.....

LOL @ Islam apologists. The Bible is filled with parables and stories whose conclusions are peaceful. If you read the Koran, there is no story. It is a rule book, and the rules are listed clearly: Wage endless war against the non-believers. Slit their throats, rape their women and make them slaves, unless they convert. If you defend this as a western liberal, you are the worst and most pathetic kind of traitor we have.

Êtes-vous en colère?



Oui, il est en colère.

What's that phrase taught to kids? "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me?"

Yeah, stoning women who've given birth out of wedlock is real peaceful.

Killing a man who 'lays' with another man. Wow that's peaceful.

Killing someone for blending two different types of cloth. Whoa is that peaceful.

/you're all dumbasses
