Jihadis Threaten SouthPark Creators

In the last awesome episode of SouthPark, Tom Cruise and lots of celebrities want the prophet Muhammad to extract the goo that gives him the power to never be ridiculed. And the Gingers plant bombs in a plot to steal the prophet for themselves. In order for the pedophile prophet to appear in public without causing rampages by rag-wearing zealots, they dress the guy in a bear suit.

But in real life, jihadists are posting death threats against Matt Stone and Trey Parker. From NewsBusters here:

It seems that Trey Parker and Matt Stone have raised the ire of a radical, pro-jihad Web site known as RevolutionMuslim.com, for the egregious crime of portraying the Prophet Mohammed disguised in a bear suit. A posting on the Web site does what most jihadists do – makes a direct threat and calls it a warning.

The outstanding citizens of RevolutionMuslim.com, an organization based in New York City, had this to say:

“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. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.”

Van Gogh was murdered partly because of another man’s ‘religious conviction’, and partly because of a controversial film he directed about the abuse of Muslim women.

The posting puts an exclamation point on the threat, by showing a photograph of Van Gogh’s corpse with a knife driven into his chest, including the caption, “Have Matt Stone And Trey Parker Forgotten This?”

And the website goes on to publish the addresses of SouthPark studios and Comedy Central offices. Will the FBI investigate this?
