Fearing Muslims, Comedy Central Censors 'South Park' Episode |

'South Park' Creators Censored by Cable Network
By DAVID BAUDER
NEW YORK -- The creators of "South Park" have been banned by Comedy
Central from showing an image of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the
cartoon's most recent episode, which aired Wednesday.
Comedy Central said in a statement issued Thursday: "In light of recent
world events, we feel we made the right decision." Its executives would
not comment further.
In an elaborately constructed two-part episode of their Peabody
Award-winning cartoon, "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker
intended to comment on the controversy created by a Danish newspaper's
publishing of caricatures of Muhammad. Muslims consider any physical
representation of their prophet to be blasphemous.
Parker and Stone were angered when told by Comedy Central several weeks
ago that they could not run an image of Muhammad, according to a person
close to the show who didn't want to be identified. The network's
decision was made over concerns for public safety, the person said.
In Wednesday's episode, which aired during Holy Week for Christians,
the character Kyle is shown trying to persuade a Fox network executive
to air an uncensored "Family Guy" even though it had an image of
Muhammad. "Either it's all OK, or none of it is," Kyle said. "Do the
right thing."
But at the point where Muhammad is to be seen, Comedy Central instead
blacked out the entire screen and the following message appears in
white text: "Comedy Central has refused to broadcast an image of
Muhammad on their network."
Shortly after the message disappears, the episode continues with images
of Jesus Christ defecating on President Bush and the American flag.

USA are [sic] doing in Iraq
Killing muslim terrorists and Saddam loyalists.

That would be muslim terrorists, like the ones we're
killing in Iraq and elsewhere.
Where is bin Laden?
He was just another muslim terrorist -- a symptom,=20
not the disease.
