The Ink of Scholars Out-Weighs the Blood of Martyrs

Gotta love those South Park fellas. After the latest furore surrounding their depiction of the Prophet Mohammed, many have pointed out that a 2001 episode featured a cartoon version of him, and was, at the time virtually ignored:

The Super Best Friends: Joseph Smith, Buddha, Jesus and Mohammed

The Super Best Friends: Joseph Smith, Buddha, Jesus and Mohammed

What hasn’t been so widely discussed is that the cartoon Mohammed has actually appeared in every single episode since, hidden away in the title sequence:

He's in the red box

Sacrilegious? Possibly. Hilarious? Made me giggle. Hungry? Yes, should have eaten more for lunch.

    All they needed to do was give his costume a couple of holes/flaps and they could have had him in a furry costume. I would love to see a joint Islamic/furry demonstration against South Park.
