CNN:
A radical Islamic website says despite a provocative post — warning the creators of “South Park” that they risk violent retribution for depicting the Prophet Mohammed in a bear suit — the site is calling simply for protest, not violence.
Revolutionmuslim.com, based in New York, was the subject of a CNN investigation last year for its radical rhetoric supporting “jihad” against the West and praising al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Its organizers insist they act within the law and seek to protect Islam.
On Sunday, Revolutionmuslim.com posted an entry that included a warning to “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone that they risk violent retribution — after the 200th episode of the cartoon series last week included a satirical discussion about whether an image of the prophet could be shown. In the end, he was portrayed disguised in a bear suit.
“We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid,” the posting on Revolutionmuslim.com says, “and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.”
If Revolutionmuslim.com were named RevolutionTeaParty.com, I suspect we’d see more coverage of their demands and threats.
