Calling Mohammed “a prophet” is, in itself, telling. No Christian believes this.

Obama also called the Koran “revealed” - something no Christian believes.

Take a look (these are GROSSLY offensive) at what FAMILY GUY said about Jesus over the years:

Do a search for FAMILY GUY Mohammed and you see... nothing.

Have you seen any marches, burned buildings, protests, murders over FAMILY GUY?

“Cartoon Wars Part II” is the fourth episode of the tenth season of the American animated television series South Park, and the 143rd episode of the series overall. It first aired on Comedy Central in the United States on April 12, 2006. The episode is rated TV-MA L. It is the second part of a two-episode story, which focuses on Cartman’s efforts to get the TV series Family Guy cancelled, by exploiting fears of retaliation by Muslims to an impending, fictitious Family Guy episode in which the Islamic prophet Muhammad will appear, in violation of some interpretations of Muslim law. Kyle instead urges the president of the network airing Family Guy, Fox, to air the episode in an exercise of free speech, arguing, “Either it’s all okay, or none of it is.”

The episodes were inspired by the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, which began in response to a Danish newspaper’s printing of cartoons depicting Muhammed in early 2006, leading to worldwide protests and occasionally violent demonstrations and riots. It also comes from South Park creators Parker and Matt Stone’s general dislike of Family Guy, which they viewed as overly reliant on “gag” humor and less on story. During production, the duo ran into reluctance from Comedy Central and parent company Viacom, who felt their insistence to depict Muhammad disregarded concerns for public safety. Parker and Stone argued that the network were giving into hypothetical violence, labeling them hypocrites due to their satirizing of other religions in the past. The network interference was written into the episode’s plotline.

Comedy Central eventually aired the episode with a black title card during the Muhammad sequence, censoring the depiction. While the episode’s censorship did attract headlines, it received more attention for its lampooning of Family Guy. The episode received positive reviews from television critics.

Some sources had speculated that Comedy Central’s parent company Viacom, which is headquartered at 1515 Broadway, near where the car was parked, was the target, because of a recent South Park episode offensive to fundamentalist Muslims. Kelly said investigators so far “couldn’t rule out” that theory.
