20th May - Draw Muhammad Day - Why or Why Not ?




Before we go on a timeline study or historical perspective behind the specified day & date, lets learn a thing or two about children :-)

Eric Cartman happens to be a mean evil 8 year old who knows no respect for elders or society. He demonstrates absolute lack of tolerance towards different races, religions and communities and is religiously scheming new tricks to ridicule people. I believe that;s reason enough for him to be the most cherished animated character across the world.

As a follower of SouthPark and as a tolerant individual who's always game for a good laugh irrespective of its political correctness, I was looking forward to the 200th episode of the animated series.

Even before I could have a faint idea about the possible plot of the episode, death threats were issue to Matt Stone and Trey Parker who have successfully been entertaining the world for the last 13 years.

Apparently, the episodes 200 and 201 planned to show the Prophet Muhammad along side other gods like Jesus,Buddha and Krishna. Islam forbids any form of depiction involving the Prophet and this was blasphemous.

The notable point here is that the Prophet was not portrayed in poor light ( snorting cocaine or watching porn) but as a regular normal superpower who says OK and thanks ( that's it).

Radical Islam is a disease and a venomous snake that has been hissing and biting for quite some time now, it raised its hood once again over an animated series with threats to kill people/blow up offices. Sigh.

It so happened that the weak kneed Viacom decided to censor the parts depicting the Prophet and even censored a speech at the end of the show by Kyle ( an 8 year old kid). Fans worldwide were furious , some were pretty disappointed and I was one of them.

The Western world has gifted its citizens with the tool called ' Freedom of expression', and they were bound to be P I S S E D with this display of surrender to violent threats by Viacom. Thus started the movement where the intention was "You can threaten and kill 2 producers, but how can you kill a million people ? Fuck you Mr. Terrorist but I'm just about to draw the Prophet Muhammad"

Allegations and counter allegations later, Facebook-Youtube-Twitter were blocked in many Islamic countries and the Mullahs of the world proved yet again how insecure they are about their religion. I mean seriously, a religion under threat from the internet ? What are we doing here, its real fuckin life , not some Michael Bay directed Sci-fi movie where internet takes over the world ( for cryin out loud) !

If you have a problem with SouthPark, Don't watch it !

If you have a problem with Facebook, don't create an account on it !

If you have a problem with Internet, Urinate on your computers !

If you don't get laid and think life sucks , BLOW YOUR OWN COUNTRY UP, NOT US TOLERANT EDUCATED SOUTHPARK LOVERS!!


None of the other religions whose gods were portrayed ( that too in a sarcastic way, snorting coke n shit), had any problem. No Death threats were issues, no protest marches with burning flags on streets, no cap wearing leaders issuing prize money on murdering the producers. Only the mascots of the religion of piece(s) found another reason to alienate themselves and the unsuspecting moderate innocents of their own community from the developed world.

Il go do my Idol worship and cling to my sacred cow, and if you have issues too, then go walk around that black box, but for GOD's SAKE don't talk shit about South park !

Screw you guys, I'm goin home.
