While reading Lonestar Political Chat's blog I found an interesting entry about South Park creators receiving death threats from a Muslim extremist group due to showing the prophet in an episode. South Park is famous for its crude, surreal, satirical, and dark humor on a wide range of topics which sometimes includes things that could be offensive to some people.
I agree with the blogger and SA express editor Jonathan Guwitz about making fun of the Islamic religion, or any other religion, should not be an issue. This is America and the cartoon South Park is just expressing the first amendment with the freedom of speech/expression. I believe if the Muslim extremist group finds this particular show offensive they do not have to watch it and could just change to channel to watch something else. This issue is ridiculous especially sending out death threats to the two creators of the show. If every offensive remark or comment received a death threat we would all have a few because in every show, movie, and song there is something that offends somebody in the world, because of the fact that we cannot please everybody.
