South Park = Theo Van Gogh Redux

The creators of “South Park” better watch their backs.

That’s what a radical Islamic group based in New York “warned” on their Web site, RevolutionMuslim.com, using violent imagery to express their unhappiness over the depiction of the Prophet Muhammed in a bear suit on the 200th episode of the long-running Comedy Central series.

The episode never actually depicts the Prophet Muhammed, but indicates him as a character wearing a bear suit.

“We have to warn Matt [Stone] and Trey [Parker] that what they are doing is stupid,” a posting on the Web site stated on Tuesday, according to reports.

“They will probably end up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show,” it noted, referencing the Dutch filmmaker who was murdered  in 2004 over a documentary he made that addressed violence against Muslim women.

“This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them,” the statement reportedly concluded.

At least we know why the cowards in the media and entertainment like picking on Christians so much: no beheadings.
