Sarajevo • Bosnian Islamic leaders voiced anger yesterday after a local television station aired an episode of the popular US cartoon South Park depicting Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him).

“The broadcast (of the cartoon) is unacceptable and we condemn it and consider it to be a kind of provocation,” Enes Ljevakovic, head of a Bosnian Islamic council, said.

“According to Islamic tradition, the presentation of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) or any other prophet is unacceptable ... even if their presentation is not sarcastic but in positive light,” Ljevakovic said.

“The cartoon was even censored in the United States ... and that is what the local Bosnian television station should have done as well,” he added.

OBN defended its decision to air the show, saying the cartoon presented prophets in a positive light that could be considered as a lesson in morality.

Some 40 percent of Bosnia’s 3.8 million inhabitants are Muslims. Orthodox Christian Serbs represent about 31 percent, while Roman Catholic Croats account for around 10 per cent.

"Frikkin' muzzies are always piss'd at someone."

Got that right! They are only happy when they are killing, torturing, mutilating, maiming, beheading, and otherwise making "the infidel's" life a living hell.

I made a comment very similar to this one last week in the Darwin's Beagle (Chuckie's Ark) thread. I had atheist ding-a-ling posts flying around me for the next 3 days. Good luck to you!

Uh, pardon my ignorance, but does Agance France Presse actually use PBUH now?!?!?

[EveningStar]

And a mighty fine episode it was. :)

[antiRepublicrat]

Wasn't the history and culture of South America based on human sacrifice. Something that doesn't jive with Christianity.

You must destroy that which disagrees with your religion. Sounds like the radical Muslims now.

I'm stealing this from another Freeper whose name I forget but he basically said, you have to go back 500 years to find Christians killing people; you only have to go back 24 hours to find Muslims doing it.

Was it the Super Best Friends episode?

I made a comment very similar to this one last week in the Darwin's Beagle (Chuckie's Ark) thread.

And it was post #3 om that thread when you showed up to vomit over a thread on naval history.

If others behaved like that on religious threads you wouldn't approve.

Everybody look out!! We all know how Islamofascists respond to cartoons they don't like! Judging from recent history, I assume that their customary response to this situation is to firebomb the TV station.

WHOOO! HOOO!!! WHOOO! HOOO!!! DAMN JEWS!!! IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT!!! WAIT! NO! IT'S BUSHES FAULT!!! HE WANTS TO PLAY WITH MY NIPPLES!!! TWIST THEM!!!! SNARKY!!! SNARKY!!!!

Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom?! St. Peter Akbar!

Two days ago I saw a vehicle that'd haul that tanker.You wanna get out of here. You talk to me.

It wasn't censored in Bosnia?

[Sir Gawain]

at least Islamism didn't yet destroy the history of a whole continent

Give it time.

[Paradox]

but let's not get too overexcited about how unjust and cruel they have been compared to us.

Whats with "we"? Christians? "We" Christians, who are alive today, are not ANYTHING like modern Islamofacists. There is no comparison. What happened hundreds of years ago is no Christians fault today.

This is idiocy, and I'll tell you what, I dont blame ANY German under 60 for what happened during WWII.

The cartoon was not censored

Yeah it was. South Park wasn't allowed to show the image of Mohammed so they censored it themselves. See post 6.
