'South Park' at it again
Washington Times ^ | 04/12/2006

Comedy Central's "South Park" never met an incendiary topic it couldn't tackle with itsquartet of preteen chums. So tonight's episode, which is sure to anger some religious groups, should come as no surprise. The second installment in a two-part episode, "Cartoon Wars, Part 2" (airing at 10) follows the growing tension on Fox's "The Family Guy" as the fellow animated series ponders whether to air animage of Muhammad. Any image of the prophet is considered sacrilegious to faithful Muslims, aswe saw recently during the riots over a series of Danish cartoons depicting Muhammad and terrorism themes.

How do any Muslims know what Muhammad looked like? So how would they know whether any depiction is offensive or not?

Will Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the fearless creators of "Park," risk similar mayhem and air images of the prophet?
Ummm.....been there, done that:

The episode first aired in 2001.

Its not a just a depiction of the prophet that is prohibited, it is the prohibition of any living creature in general. It's a lot like the prohibition in the ten commandments against making any graven images. Choosing to depict Muhammad just strikes a nerve a little more than usual.

Funny how they take the graven images bit so seriously when "Thou shalt not kill" hardly gets the time of day.

I missed the broadcast too. I watched it online, thanks to a link that was posted here on FR. Without commercials, I liked that.
