I don't watch South Park but I do see the ads on Comedy Central. They seem to make fun of Jesus now and then. Have they ever included characters named Allah or Mohammed as objects of ridicule? Joshing about Osama or Sadaam is one thing but making fun of the figures in Islam could get them a death sentence.

Note: I'm not warning them to stay away, rather I'm seeing if they hit all the sacred cows.

They definately take some shots at Islam in this episode. As far as what they do with Jesus, its not really ridicule. Jesus on South Park is always portrayed as the savior who gets no respect, or who the people don't really have alot of faith in. Its more satire than ridicule.

Jesus is a recuring character, but they really don't make fun of him. Actually, he usually looks pretty good! And they do include everyone in their jabs.
