http://tiny.cc/eps8i -> The Revolution Muslim "Article"
After reading it, I realized that the Revolution Muslim is confusing the episode of South Park with the Iraq war.
First, Trey and Matt (probably) weren't even thinking about the Iraq war! They were only criticizing the fact that the Muslims don't even let people show Muhammad, while every other religion does - what makes you so different/more important?
"By placing the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a bear suit, the creators of South Park sought to insult the sacred, and show their blatant and general disregard for religion. By insulting our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) without the outright depicting of his image, the creators of South Park thought that they had found some loophole in the Muslim faith for them to mock."

"While the makers of South Park are probably unaware of these issues, and they are merely pawns in a dangerous game, they are playing right into the hands of those who wish to change our religion. The destruction of the Islamic identity is not something which Muslims can tolerate, and this is something being directly funded by the American regime."
Now this is ridiculous. NO ONE WANTS YOU TO CHANGE YOUR RELIGION!
"Individual Muslims may react in quite the same manner as those non-Muslims, claiming that we are making Islam look backwards and ancient, overreacting and bringing about more harm than good."
Exactly! That's the problem, and that's the only thing the world is trying to "change". We DO respect your religion!
"Many are proclaiming that the South Park episode’s insult was minimal and some might inquire about a situation where the insult is not that great. The renowned scholar Imam Malik said, «If someone says that the button of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is dirty, then he should be executed!»"
And that too... The extreme! That's what so wrong!
"Free speech is a vital tool in the staving of oppression, but this function has its limits."
One thing is to know the line, another is to cut free speech just for referring a prophet.
"This shows that taking this stance is virtually obligatory, but it does not mean that our taking this stance is in some way an absolute call toward the requirement that the creators of South Park must be killed, nor a deliberate attempt at incitement, it is only to declare the truth regardless of consequence and to offer an awareness in the mind of Westerners when they consider doing the same thing."
Bullshit. You did threaten them and you did encourage others to take action if this went on... Otherwise, why would you give Comedy Central adress, and others?
"We would also like Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone to understand the tastelessness of their portrayal, apologize and reflect on the words that follow. An apology or at least recognition of bad taste might not remedy the situation, but it would go a long way toward turning this situation from a gaping wound into an ugly scar."
They won't do that, and I'm glad for it! They didn't do anything wrong! They just expressed their opinion, saying that Muslims should let them show their prophet, just like other religions. They were NOT mocking your religion! They normally do mock other religions, it's true, and sometimes that goes out of line, but they have a point when the only thing they want is to show the prophet, and nothing more than that. And I don't say the name, 'cause if they got bleeped, I'm afraid of what it will happen to me.
Oh, and other thing! "Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muh** at all but it got bleeped too." Hmm... I wonder why's that?
