Muhammad cartoons controversy (view source)
Revision as of 04:11, July 11, 2016

On April 12, 2006, The [[television]] show [[South Park]] aired the episode "Cartoon Wars Part I", which challenged the [[Comedy Central]] network to let an image of Muhammad air uncensored in the next episode, "Cartoon Wars Part II". Comedy Central did, however, censor the image of Muhammad. It should be noted that Muhammad had been shown on South Park several times before, when there was no pre-existing controversy. In fact, he's in the show's opening. The show has a history of mocking religions, having also offended Christians, Jews, Muslims on other occasions, Buddhists, Scientologists, New Age religion and even Atheists.

In fact there is still some debate about the claimed ban on images of Mohammed; many images exist in muslim art, and the prohibition appears not to have been decreed until centuries after his life. Various interpretations of Islam also prohibit depictions of ALL prophets (including [[Jesus Christ]]) or ALL living creatures. The riotous response to the Danish cartoons was a very selective outpouring of anger, and did not take place until several months after their publication.
