Muslim Jesse Curtis Morton jailed over South Park threat

you know, I find it interesting that the guy came out with all these threats once his faith was made fun of. But it was okay with him when South Park made fun of other religions.

It was fine when SP ridiculed other religions, but when they went after Scientology, of which Hayes was a member, that was too much for Hayes.

door!

Best wishes, Chef, indeed....!!!!

Bet he kicked himself after the fact--that had to be a good gig, steady money, easy work.

Even Parker and Stone have one, just that no one's found it yet

Which is what half the Tea Party is about.

in fact, certain clerics sought out the cartoons to exploit the uneducated illiterates around the world into seething rage. They even drew a few of their own to get the point across.But that part of the draw mohamad story was never beaten like a dead horse

When was that from? I'd guess from the height of the US government anti-al-Jazeera PR operation.

Sorry for you, bro.

Since it was posted in reply to "fuck 'em if they can't take a joke" in a thread about Muslims and South Park, may3rd seemed to think it was a joke at the expense of Muslims, not at the expense of Bush.

Rez Khan didn't seem to see it as a joke about Bush either: http://www.yale.edu/opa/arc-ybc/v36.n26/story7.html

It is possible it was a joke about the attitude to Al Jazeera - the same as the New Yorker cover with Barack and Michelle Obama as a Muslim and terrorist was, I suppose. Maybe I'm just reacting to its placement in the context of 'jokes about Islam'.

Al Jazeera English is a quality news network that does circles around American news networks. This is stupid, and also bigoted propaganda.

Maybe in five years, a follow up story will be made?
ya know
...Whatever happened to "watz iz name"

He will be considered to be no better than the other inmates. Unless he joins into some weird fraternity there, he'll find that respect for diversity is mandatory to survive.

Regimented thought processes learned from religion are a mental prison; but prison is a regimentation on a level he may never have endured. What he sought to take from another, is the same thing he once wanted for himself.

Hopefully he will learn that the privilege of thinking for one's own self is a gift that should not be threatened. OTOH, he may learn nothing from being incarcerated, and see himself as a victim or persecuted, and act worse later.

in religion as an escape from the walls of confinement.
He will be protected by some

......
Research downplays the idea of foreign infiltration, positing the threat as more likely from small pockets of prisoners falling under the spell of a charismatic fellow inmate. This point is crucial -- lack of Muslim chaplains forces inmates to take matters into their own hands, leading to cut-and-paste versions of Islam -- quite the opposite of what a fundamentalist would advocate. Criminologists refer to this as "prison Islam" or "Prislam," where gang structures appropriate Islam to justify a violent and criminal lifestyle.

Christopher Hitchens was correct.

I also approve of this quote:


I think that fairly well sums things up.

Humans have to learn to live together. We have to put aside these iron age stories and learn about today's world. We have to touch one another.

Maybe they can spend their confinement learning to draw amusing caricatures.

The pen IS mightier than the sword--they should think about that when they're eating their crappy, non-Halal prison food (or the even crappier Halal plates!).

Nitwits.

And he can learn to take a joke.
