This is not new
Many years ago Spitting Image did a puppet of Jesus and inspite of complaints by Christian groups about this being blasphemous the producers took no notice. However when various muslim groups voiced objections, the Jesus puppet was never seen again. (This was also the time of the fatwah against Salmund Rushdie for his book the Satanic Verses). But the question is, what gives the producers the right to trample over the deeply held religious beliefs of others? Why did it have to take intervention by muslims to make the Spitting Image producers to realise this when they treated Christians with contempt? Freedom of speech comes with responsibility

South Park has litterally took the mick out of Everything and the muslims are getting worked up about a bear suit?
*facepalm*

Exactly. We don't need permission to take the mick out of religion. It's a given. By denying that, Sticks has basically managed to turn the concept of free speech into an oxymoron in his post. It's either free speech or it's not.

Yes precisely by "islamists" they mean fundamentalist/extremist groups not yer general muslim...just like there were some extreme catholics complaining about Life of Brian...and so on and so forth etc etc. Islamist does not equal muslim

But because the Islamists are soooooo much better than the Catholics and all that, they have to take it to the next level by warning with the thread of death.
