Kyle also said "shut up, fatass" whenever Cartman mocked him, his mother or his people. I guess the freedom of speech only works to the point when someone gets offended. Ofcourse the show shouldn't be banned but there's nothing wrong with some people hating it and making threats. I mean, insult someone on the street and expect to either get sued or punched in the face. That's how it works. Also all it does is makes the show more popular.

Well the end narration just seemed weird, having a short thing done by Kyle then Jesus then Santa, just seemed to be designed to be funny if bleeped out. And they say that the original message wasn't even about Mohammed so why in the world would it be censored and so far I couldn't find a place that said what the original dialogue was. And why was even the name Mohammed censored. I don't know it seems a bit publicity stunt-y
well setting the end aside the censoring of that episode was wrong in every way and comedy central was stupid for doing it....the group of radical Muslims that are living in new york that made those death threats should be found and sent to jail
but like i said before the ending was definitely made that way on purpose
Originally posted by MindsetNot really, one should see it coming. "I'll kick your ass" is also a threat. It's all about cultural differences. Its just in some countries you call someone's mother a "whore" and you'll get "F you!" as a responce, in others you'd get punched and in some countries people would kill you for calling their mother a "whore" because insults isnt a normal thing for them like it is for us. Its hard to understand unless you've lived there but it doesnt make it wrong, maybe by US or UK standarts only. Im personally ok with that.

Also, we aren't talking about two people on the street, we are talking about a religious organization based in NY making death threats to two writers.
Originally posted by MindsetNo more wrong than saying "i'll kick your ass" when someone insults you in any way. A threat is a threat. And yeah, I know I was just making an analgy. Anyway, I think it's bs, they cencored it on purpose.

Death threats are more wrong than threats of saying "I'll kick your ass". Just like if each of those threats were to be carried out one is more wrong than the other.
But that wasn't really the whole point I was making. One is an entire organization, one is just one guy.
Anyway, threats are wrong, simple as that.
