South Park Controversy Stirred by Two Moron Converts  

0 Replies

 
So it figures, two moronic converts try to flame the fires of hostility.

Probably two little rich kids with too much time on their hands. Do these folks have a job other than dipping their hands into  Dad and Mom's pockets?

Seems to me if they did, they wouldn't have time to stir the pot of dissidence.

I must say, it's good news that most mainstream Muslims, like everyone else, can take satire with a grain of salt:

But has there really been any Muslim outrage? The characterisation of Muhammad in a July 2001 episode entitled "Super Best Friends", where he teams up with Jesus, Moses, and Buddha to defeat evil (even though Buddha "doesn't really believe in evil"), has been available for viewing online (if not on a spooked Comedy Central) for nine years without censorship, more than enough time to spark another cartoon crisis if Muslims really cared. As should be obvious by now, they don't. READ MORE

As for these two idiots threatening South Park, they don't speak for most Muslims.

As for South Park giving in -- COWARDS!


For those who buy into the old adage "Satire is the lowest form of wit" -- that adage is wrong, satire is an art form appreciated by those with a high-brow of wit.

Those two Muslim Coverts need to go home to Mommy and Daddy's backyard and play in their sandboxes.

Freedom of Speech takes Precedence Over Hurt Religious Feelings  

0 Replies

For my second rant of the year: The television show South Park being threaten by Muslims over a nonsensical caricature.

First, do I have to remind those who  are offended by South Park's satire, that this country is The United States of America.

Second, Americans, as a whole, won't tolerate our freedom of speech or expression being attacked or limited by anybody.  If there's one way to band Americans together, attack our right to free speech and expression. We may not like what's said, but we'll defend the right to say it.

Third, Islam is precious to Muslims however, it is not precious to the rest of us. As a matter of fact,  some of us find Islam offensive to our own  sensibilities. Yet, we don't threaten you with violence. We believe you have to right to worship and believe as you wish and expect, no demand  the same in kind.

We are NOT some Third World hovel, where the people live in fear and will not express themselves from that fear. We do not fear having our doors knocked down, then being dragged out into the street and tortured for our written, verbal rhetoric or any other kind of expression.

This is a country governed and ruled by ===> The Constitution of the United States and its AMENDMENTS <=== nothing else. 

The First Amendment to The Constitution protects the "right" of "free" speech:


Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. THE CONSTITUTION

Yes, many people say or write things that offend each and everyone of us. The catch is, we and YOU, by right, don't have to listen or read what offends us. Or, you and we, have a right to rhetorically give answer.

However, none of us have a right to threaten violence against anyone or anything. When the threat of violence is made. Those threatening have crossed the civilized  line and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law -- American Law.

Though it maybe against Muslim/Islamic law to depict Muhammad in any derogatory light, it's not against any of our laws and it's our laws that count, not Islamic laws, which I personally, thank God for everyday.

South Park is satirical, they have made fun of and have shone Christians, Jews, Buddhists and any other religious and/or political figures in some uncomplimentary way.

So, Revolution Muslim group here  in America, suck it up like the rest of us, you're not special. Voice your opinions and your outrage, but do not threaten violence, or threaten America's right to freedom of speech and expression, WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES   won't stand for it.

South Park airs

Maj. Hasan: What Have You Done!  

0 Replies




You've just opened up a vipers nest, is what you've done.

Military personnel must always be able to trust their own and you've highhandedly obliterated a military sacred trust. 
 

The tragedy at Fort Hood in no doubt has America reeling. As a Veteran, I am stunned and feel violated.

Most of us are asking the how and why a trust usually so deep could be shattered here on our home soil. Or how and why a Soldier could turn on his comrades in such a hideous manner.

Being a Veteran [an old school G.I], I know about the military lifestyle and it's different from the civilian one. Every time I walk into a VA clinic or hospital I feel and see the difference. It makes me feel like I belong to a unit.

When I went to boot camp [way back when] I knew that the main objective of military training was to break down the old self and build a new one. We were taught not be individuals but to be a unit. It didn't matter that we may not have liked or down right hated another G.I., for some reason or another, it was ingrained in us that we were all one and were to always have each others back.

Trusting your fellow G.I. was and still is, a matter of life and death [At least that's how the thinking was back when I served this country]. This is especially true during war time and when we're on foreign soil. To think that this happened here on home soil and by an American, is mind boggling. 

Understand, this trust idea as a thought process maybe foreign to some civilians who've never been in the military or around the military way of life, but to those active duty personnel and many of us veterans, it was/is vital.

No one will truly know his answer as to why commit this most horrendous type of treason against fellow soldiers, until Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan speaks. This man has opened the door for every kind of American racist, bigot, Islamaphobe to come out of the woodwork.

There's already speculation starting to run a muck in the American community. The media and the government have been quite careful not to mention the words terrorist or terrorism.

To my way of thinking, Hasan's actions are nothing but terrorism because he's backhandedly terrorized America and American Muslims. American Muslims are now running scared, worried about any backlash that their community may suffer. Don't be fooled, yes, there will be some type of backlash. What, only time will tell.

In my opinion, he's committed the worst kind of treason against the American Government, the Military, the American people and most importantly the American families he's destroyed.

Terrorism any where, but especially on home soil, can not be tolerated. Question is, how is the Government going to handle this very, very hot potato.

My sincere and deepest condolences to all families and active duty personnel that this has befallen.
