South Park

I just saw the new South Park episode which is creating all of the buzz because they had Mohammed in a bear suit. Some radical individuals made some veiled threats against South Park founders Matt Stone and Trey Parker because of this. The fact that these people are being threatened for this really gets me going. What is it going to take for the world as a whole to live and let live? Is the fact that the founder of your religion was portrayed in a bear costume in a cartoon really worth shedding blood over? We have no control over what other people do... only our response to it. Like all good mothers should say... just ignore them and they will go away! But really, I respect and admire Stone and Parker for including Mohammed in that episode despite knowing that some people would get upset. That is standing by their own convictions despite sometimes frightening and angry opposition. That is worthy of all the respect and admiration in the world.
