Showed Jesus, and Bush, taking a dump was okay. But couldn't show Mohammad standing in a door way.
Totally wussed out.
-
Whats so bad about showing a picture of Mohammad anyway?
-
he was one ugly mofo.
-
Yep they completely caved. They had a chance to stand up for our values (albeit in a retarded way) and give a big ol' middle-fingered salute, and they (to quote some of our left-haters) went the "limp-wrist liberal" way.

Its against Islamic law.

Hey Löw..., err, Shifty. Did ya really expect them to show it? Here's what the "Religion Of Peace" is really all about:
In May 1994, a fatwa on Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasrin came after she was quoted in The Statesman that "…the Koran should be revised thoroughly." This follows attacks and persecution of Taslima for her 1993 book Lajja (Bangla word for 'shame')
In 1997 Tatiana Soskin was apprehended in Hebron while attempting to attach to an Arab storefront a drawing she'd made depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad as a pig reading the Koran. The incident created considerable tensions.
In 1998, Ghulam Akbar, a Shi'a Muslim, was convicted, in a Rahimyar Khan court, of uttering derogatory remarks against Muhammad in 1995 and sentenced to death. He was the first to receive such a sentence under Section 295(c) of the Pakistani penal code. [6]
In August 2000, a Lahore court sentenced Abdul Hasnain Muhammad Yusuf Ali to death and 35 years' imprisonment for "defiling the name of Muhammad" under Section 295(a), 295(c), and 298.[7]
In 2001, prior to 9/11, American magazine Time printed an illustration of Muhammad along with the Archangel Gabriel waiting for a message from God. The magazine apologized for printing the illustration after widespread protests in Kashmir.[8]
In June 2002, Iranian academic Hashem Aghajari gave a speech that challenged Muslims to refrain from blindly following their clergy. His speech provoked international outcry, and, in November 2002, he was sentenced to death for "blasphemy against Muhammad." [9]
In November 2002, an article in the Nigerian ThisDay newspaper prior to the upcoming Miss World pageant, suggesting Muhammad would have chosen one of the contestants as his bride, sparked riots that eventually claimed over 200 lives.[10]
In December 2002, Pulitzer Prize winner Doug Marlette published a drawing that showed Muhammad driving a Ryder truck, with a nuclear rocket attached. He received more than 4,500 e-mails from angry Muslims, some with threats of death and mutilation.[11]
In 2004, Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh and Ayaan Hirsi Ali created the 10-minute movie Submission. The film is about violence against women in Islamic societies. It shows four abused naked women, wearing see-through dresses. Qur'anic verses allegedly unfavourable to women in Arabic are painted on their bodies. After the movie was released, both van Gogh and Hirsi Ali received death threats. Van Gogh was stabbed and shot dead on November 2, 2004, in Amsterdam by Mohammed Bouyeri. A note he left impaled on Van Gogh's chest threatened Western governments, Jews and Hirsi Ali (who went into hiding).
In February 2005 the "Världskulturmuséet" ("Museum of World Culture") in Göteborg, Sweden decided to remove the painting "Scène d’Amour" by Louzla Darabi. The painting was part of a temporary exhibition about HIV/AIDS, and depicted a man and a woman having sexual intercourse. The artist and the curator had received numerous death threats from Muslims enraged over the Koran quotations which were featured in a corner of the painting. Some threats were telling the artist to "learn from the Netherlands", referring to the murder of van Gogh and threats against Hirsi Ali.[4] (News article in Swedish)
On April 19, 2005 the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet broke the news that celebrity preacher Runar Søgaard in a causerie had called the prophet Mohammed "a confused paedophile" (alluding to Mohammed's revelations and his marriages with young girls such as Aisha). Søgaard had at the same time also told jokes about Jesus and Buddha. Søgaard received numerous death threats from Muslims and went on national television to apologise for his jokes. His apologies did not help, and Muslim extremists in Sweden contacted imams around the world in order to have a fatwa issued against Søgaard. Among the contacted ones were Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. A fatwah with a death sentence against Søgaard was eventually issued by an African imam.[5][6]
In September 2005 the Tate Britain gallery decided not to display a work by John Latham entitled God Is Great #2, made ten years previously, which consisted in part of a Koran, a Bible and a Talmud that had been disassembled. The exhibition was close to the time of the July 7 2005 London bombings which influenced the Tate's decision. [12][13]
In September 2005, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten printed twelve cartoons of Muhammad, including one that portrayed him wearing a bomb under his turban. The cartoons angered Muslims around the world and, when several other newspapers reprinted the cartoons and an Islamic committee from Denmark had toured several Islamic countries with the real and some falsified material, led to death threats, riots, and burning of embassies in some countries in January 2006 and February 2006. A Catholic priest, Father Andrea Santoro, was shot to death in Turkey on February 5. A 16 year-old student was arrested for the murder and admitted it, saying he had been "enraged by the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in the European press". It was unclear whether Turkish police saw this as the real motive for the killing.[7]

everyone is afraid of islam because they will blow themselves up to kill you if you dog their religion.
I say blow islam up. bigger threat to humanity than hilter, tojo and the cold war arsenal combined...even the communists and socialists must see it as a threat.
trouble is todays free men are wussified, specially the free euros and russians...total whimps.
-
Its a message that was intended to be that way...
They'll show Jesus doing offensive things, but Muslims would FREAK OUT if Mohammad was shown...

South Park hasn't been funny enough to be worth watching for a while.
Now its just a platform some insignificants to express their opinions about politics.
It should be on CNN. So should the Daily Show

We cant all be as tough as you. Ever thought about making a movie with Chuck Norris?

norris would whisp away like a fart in a wind tunnel when faced with my cage fighting skills.
-
is there something wrong with a religion that kills people over a picture these days.. Or one that still has the death sentance for converting away from it?
We really need to squash it.

I think it was pretty ironic that it ended up as a final battle between a Jew & a terrorist. Probably the most realistic fight scene we've had in awhile too.
-
That was a good fight, i also liked thr Bart Simpson charactor. I guess it came down to it not being worth human lives just for a joke. Especially Trey and Matts.

There is the problem. If your prophet , god, or whatever, is so all powerful. Why would you need to kill over a joke, or a cartoon? Why would you need to kill people who didn't believe in your god? It's like religious insecurity gone mad.
-
Are you guys real??? Mohammed was shown on Southpark before (Episode: Superbest friends). The "censoring" is part of the story/joke!!! God, this is why Southpark should be shown to grown ups only...
BTW, the first part of "Cartoon wars" was way better, expected more from the conclusion.

SP has 'jumped the shark'
-
So...South Park's "inyourfacewedon'tcarewhatyouthinkofoursatire" producers really DO care what people think about their satire.
Typical. Those types are always careful about picking their targets.
Listening for things that go "bump" in the night isn't nearly as much fun as making "bold, satirical statements."
-
Shuckins, in all fairness to the Southpark guys, I think it was Comedy Central execs that canned the episode and wussed out. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
-
I think the execs wussed out. I wonder if XM radio or Sirius will manage to break into the video market, and if so, if they'll remain separate from the idiotic politically correct censorship on pay-to-view cable networks.
Seriously, just change the channel if you think you're gonna be offended... Better yet, cancel the damn cable service. Sheesh. There are a few channels I don't watch because I'm offended by what is shown, but I'm not whining about how everyone else should lose their entertainment just because I don't like what they're watching. Damn busybodies need to pay attention to their own unhappy worlds instead of messing with everyone else's fun.
Plus those mohammed cartoons were spot-on, as evidenced by the radical response to the mere existence of those cartoons. No sympathy here and failing to show them on a late-night show based on biting satire is just appeasing violent religious radicals, not taking some ambiguous "free speech only applies when we're not threatened with death by religious whackos" moral high road.

Do the Muslims know about this? You sure that was Mohammed?
Edit - and the censoring part was a black screen that specifically said something to the effect of "Comedy Central refuses to air an image of the Prophet Mohammed."

Hi Kirin,
The decision to censor the episode was not part of the humor, it was a decision made by Comedy Central Executives, not the producers:
Comedy Central Censors "South Park"
(UPI)
South Park may have just been named winner of a Peabody Award, but that did not stop the Comedy Central censors from pulling a controversial scene.
Instead of the planned image of Mohammed during Wednesday night's episode, viewers saw a title card that said: Comedy Central has refused to broadcast an image of Mohammed on their network, E! Online reported. The network did, however, allow the images of President George W. Bush, the U.S. flag and a bowel movement.
The censored scene was supposed to have shown a cartoon of the Islamic prophet handing a football helmet to a character from Family Guy.
A source told E! Comedy Central decided to nix the frame out of concerns for public safety. The episode was poking fun, among other things, at the controversy surrounding the publication of political cartoons depicting Mohammed in Denmark. The cartoons sparking rioting among Muslims worldwide.
"In light of recent events, we feel we made the right decision," Comedy Central said in a statement Thursday.
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone did not immediately comment.
The West is once again learning that unlike most religions, coexistence is not an option that Islam offers to those outside. Hence the absolute division of the world into the Dar-El-Harb (land of war) and the Dar-el-Islam. The only options are to fight, capitulate, or convert. Capitulation seems to be currently in vogue, possibly because we believe it will bring peace. Unfortunately, as the Spanish found out the hard way, capitulation doesn't bring peace, it only confirms the belief of the Jihadis that their campaign is working and that final victory is on the horizon.

comedy central did not wuss out. several seasons ago he was featured as a member of the "Super Best Friends", a group of super hero religious figures that included the following.
Jesus, with his amazing carpentry powers
Joseph Smith, with devastating ice breath
Mohammed, wielding flame
Buddha, with the power of invisibility
Krishna, with the power of transformation
Lao-Tsu, the mentalist
Sea-man, with the power to breathe underwater and link mentally with fish

Well gee, I didn't know that, espically since its ok for them to kill whoever they want in the name of their religion, blow up buildings, take hostages, and kill them. you'd think they'd want people to see the dead guy that started it all.

The creators of South Park wanted to show Mohammed, Comedy Central nixed the idea, and so the creators instead showed Jesus Christ and George W. Bush taking a **** on one another and on the American flag to demonstrate Comedy Central's hypocrisy.
Notice which one made it into the show uncensored.

Please don't compare me to a Christian. And if Bush = God, I have a serious question for him.
