Muslim group warns 'South Park' creators of 'violent retribution' for recent episode

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

NEW YORK — A radical Muslim group has warned the creators of "South Park" that they could face violent retribution for depicting the prophet Muhammad in a bear suit during last week's episode.

The website RevolutionMuslim.com has since been taken down, but a cached version shows the message to "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The article's author, Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee of New York, said the men "outright insulted" the religious leader.

The posting showed a gruesome picture of Theo Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was shot and stabbed to death in an Amsterdam street in 2004 by a fanatic angered by his film about Muslim women. The film was written by a Muslim woman who rejected the Prophet Muhammad as a guide for today's morality.

"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," Al-Amrikee wrote. "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."

The posting listed the addresses of Comedy Central's New York office and Parker and Stone's California production office. It also linked to a Huffington Post article that described a Colorado retreat owned by the two men.

Oops.

Clearly those people are idiots.

For dealing with such groups, best approach is Admiral Farragut's--"d### the torpedoes, full-steam ahead!".

I saw this last night....

Muslim groups like this need to take a chill pill.

[PhiLandShiR 18]

I think their belief system forbids chill pills....

There are a group of muslims, not sure if they are the same ones each time, but of the same mentality, who appear not to have any regard to fiction but rather take everything literally and treat it as offensive. How very sad for such people to be so mentally challenged.

Christian fundamentalists and scientologists are just as vociferous when they are lampooned on t.v. or in movies. They however limit their threats to condemnations to hell, NOT actual violence.

The idiots don't have a sense of humour.

Indeed, but Rob is quite right, the lack of humour is not confined to one particular religous group, just their threats are less 'of this world' in nature.

Oh they would if they could. Extremists might differ in terms of their ideology but they are identical in their zealotry.

What's stopping them?
