For its 200th episode April 14 -- the beginning of a two-part story that concludes Wednesday night -- "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to go all-in, creating a plot line about free speech in which most everybody the show's ever offended comes back. Among the episode's characters: the Prophet Mohammed, who is first pictured behind a black "censored" bar and later in a bear suit.As the article states, South Park insults everyone including Jews, Catholics, Mormons, Scientologists, atheists and Jesus. If they can make fun of Jesus they can certainly make fun of that fucking thug Mohammed. You're not in Saudi Arabia or Somalia. Keep popping off and threatening our way of life, our freedom of speech and expression, and your punkasses might end up back there in pine boxes though. Don't come to our country talking shit.
That didn't sit well with Revolution Muslim, an Islamic group that objected to Mohammed's portrayal.
According to some Muslim traditions, the visual depiction of Mohammed is not allowed.
"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 group said on its website. "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality that will likely happen to them."
Watch South Park tonight at 10 PM on Comedy Central. I've never watched it before, but I definitely will tonight.
