South Park Epidsode: Mohammad blocked out by Comedy central

For those who saw the episode, do you feel that comedy central did the right thing blocking the cartoon image of him out, or do you agree that its not right because that shows disticntion form whats ok to be made fun of and what isnt. My personal belief is that Trey Parker and Matt Stone had evry right to show that image of him and comedy central was totally wrong.

I personally think that morally it is wrong to portray him in that manner, due to the beliefs of those that are Muslim. That being said...

I think it is wrong to take offense to something you may or may not choose to watch. I think that Muslims should avoid watching the episode, and speak out against the show if they don't like it.

I think that equal consideration for religious views should be practiced. I consider the humour that is used about my faith and other faiths is just as disrespectful as that presented in respect to Islam. I think that given what they have allowed concerning other religions the episode should not have been edited. It shows deference to the Islamic beliefs over other beliefs.

Like I stated earlier, if someone would be offended they didn't have to watch.

**** Muhammad, freedom of speech> some stupid religious belief. What's really funny about this whole thing is Comedy Central allowed South Park to show the character of Muhammad on an episode years ago. And no one cared at all. Now because some dumbass extremists they don't allow the same exact thing to be shown, really stupid on their part. I was really disapointed that Comedy Central pussed out on that episode. Of course, showing their genius once again, Trey and Matt totally showned how idiotic the channels decision was by, rather than showing Muhammad giving Peter Griffin a football and nothing more, having Jesus Christ shitting all over the American flag and George Bush, something much more offensive to any reasonable person.

Any religion that tries to impose their beliefs on others by condemning freedom and speech, and inherently disrespecting those countries that believe in freedom of speech in the process, aren't worth respect themselves.

Yea, while censorship is bad, the South Park guys have a habit of making things that they had censored more offensive and more funny.

I agree it is disrespectful, however, they do have every right to do that because fo freedom of speech. Like you said no one has to watch it and im not sure if u watched it, but it wasn't so much as showing mohammad, but more or less trying to express freedom of speech to the fullest extent. Maybe it could ahve been done so it woudlnt be as offensive, but sometimes i think that radical stance needs to be taken especially when people get persecuted for doing it liek the danish man who made the political cartoon with mohammad(the basis of this south park episode)

To backfire, the episode with the super friends is what ur talkign about, which i also saw. I think it is also stupid that they could show him at that time, but because the middle east is in a frenzy, they can't. Absoultely wrong, comedy central is totally wrong

The Muhammad case isn't as bad as the Tom Cruise parody. The guy thinks he is so important that putting him on a cartoon and mock him is outrageous...yeah, Tom is an even bigger douche bag than an Islamic extremist.

I think that the Islamic world needs to be more tolerant of people that don't believe as they do, well, they and Jesusisalive...

Anywho, they need to take a chill pill. They do all sorts of things that everyone else could get upset about, if they can do things that are offensive to others (e.g. American Flag burning, Holocaust denial, their statements concerning Jews, etc.) then they should shut up when others do similar to them.

your absolutely right regret, its ridiculous that they can do such degradign things to israelis and the US, and then complain about what we do that offends them. We need to get that iranian president out of there, becuz hes more radical than any other leader over in any of those countries right now. China and Russia are such a problem though becuz they support Iran. I just saw a news report today saying hes sent advisors to hezbollah in support of that conflcit with israel. I think sooner or later it may become an all out war with iran and possibly syria

It's a TV show no one makes anybody tune in at the time the show is on. Simple: If think you might be offended and don't want to get offended don't watch it.

Tom Cruise is crazy.shocking

Don't be so concerned about upsetting people who have it in for you. We can't disrespect Islam because we don't want upstanding Islamic citizens to feel like they're being discriminated against. But there's nothing wrong with stereotyping gays, or christians or black people. In all reality, if there are members of Islam in this country that are so offended by this that the Comedy Central execs need to cater to them personally, then they take themselves too seriously. Just like Christian fundamentalists.

I believe in free speech, but I don't think the Islamic world need further inflaming right now. We are already doing a good enough job 😖.

well, jews and eastern christians don't go nuts when god and jesus are portrayed. Plus, wasn't there an episode before that where he was on a superhero team and he could shoot fire?

Shit, the inbred fanatical retards who claim to speak for muslims are also leading "jihads" against a half persian, half norwegian supermodel named aylar die cause she did three porn films. I'm not even sure if she's muslim either.

Thats because jews and christians are allowed to show pictures or protray in gods case an image of his being, however, mohammad is not to be portrayed in a picture in the islamic faith and yes there was a superfriends episode with mohammad and no one complained abotu that

well as long as south park balances everything out and not bashing one religion over another then it is ok.

actually, jews and christians aren't allowed to portray god and this was most ferverently followed by the eastern church and by orthodox jews

if they direspected something like buddhism it might be a little offensive as there isnt much bad in it. islam on the other hand is a relegion which quite openly condemns others and is clearly against human rights, therefore i dont think an institution that condemns other people themselves has the right to say that sum1 else shud not condemn it.

Dude, it was a joke. 😐

I wouldn't say it was a joke because they were tryign to make a point about freedom of speech, which I thought was cleverly done by the writers. They do make fun of everything in that show, but in this case it was only about freedom of speech, not necessarily an attack on islam.

They make fun of everybody, stereotypes of race, religion, movies, actors, bands, etc. It may be offensive to some people, but I really haven't seen anythign real horrible and degrading yet.
