On one side of Islam you have peaceful, patient and rational Muslims like Gad Amr.

On the other, you have crazies like the people over at Revolution Muslim.

Last week’s South Park episode was a 200th blockbuster that featured a mish mash of some of the more prominent storylines that have appeared on the show. One such storyline was the depiction of Muhammad in a visual form.

South Park first depicted Muhammad in visual form back in 2001 in the episode Super Best Friends.

Muhammad being the guy to the left of Jesus.

I watched the 200th episode of South Park when it came out last week and like most of the rest of the world had a giggle and then got on with life.

Unfortunately if you’re a religious nutjob things aren’t as simple.

Revolution Muslim appear to be your stereotypical band of Islamic nutjobs headed by website creator Yousef al-Khattab who interestingly lives in New York and runs a bicycle taxi.

Naturally Revolution Muslim is hell bent on the destruction of the west. The website’s mission statement (google cached) proclaims

Revolution Muslim’s purpose is to invite people to proper Islam (Aqeedah (creed) + Shariah (path)) and command the good (justice and peace), while forbidding the falsehood (lies and deceptions) of society.

Our mission is to one day see the Muslims united under one Khalifah and under the commands of Allah (SWT).

We focus on educating Muslims and Non-Muslims alike about the actuality of the religion and thereby work to preserve traditional Islamic values for Muslims across the globe.

We pray that we may witness the dismantlement of western, secular dominance across the world as we hold it to be pagan and idolatrous in the majority of its presumptions.

We seek a resurrection of the just example set forth by centuries of Islamic rule throughout the ages and we hold it to be self evident for the objective soul and mind that Allah is One and that Muhammad ibn Abdullah is His Prophet and that the religion offers the solution to all of the world’s ills and afflictions.


Sounds wonderful and everything but no thanks.

Recently an article featured on Revolution Muslim threatening the creators of South Park, Mat Stone and Trey Parker with assassination. The article opens with a post mortem photo of Theo Van Gogh, a dutch film maker assassinated in 2004 after releasing ‘Submission’. Submission is a film critical of the treatment of women in Islam.

The article states;

The episode went beyond just showing him, but it outright insulted him, salaa Allahu ‘alayhi wa salam, by showing him in a bear suit and making fun of our beloved Nabi, salaa Allahu ‘alayhi wa salam.

We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid 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. Maybe they have not listened to this lecture before:


Following these threats (which let’s call a spade a spade, they are) is an embedded Youtube video of shiek Ahmad Jibril calling on people to chop the head off the author of a cartoon depicting Muhammad.

In an article posted a few days later on the 18th April further threatens

Here are the authors boasting of their insults and celebrating their complete disregard for what anyone considers sacred: Are you afraid that you would be bombed, she asks?

Perhaps they are not, perhaps they should be, only time will tell.


Reader commentary on the article isn’t much better (link working at time of publication).

I wish i could slit their throats with a rusty knife,so it be more painful….May curse them and may Allah give me the strength to do that honour.

How dare they insult our prohphets,they won’t get away this time Inshallah.

There’s no doubt our Mujjahid Brother’s from among the state itself will rise & kill them – InshahAllah… There should & will never be any forgiveness for them ever or for that matter with all the enemies of Allah. The will all suffer the wrath of Allah through the Hands of his Lions – Ameen.

These kaafirs are the filthiest people. May Allah never guide them until they taste the fire of hell. Inshallah. American society has gone against the fitrah in which Allah created Man.
By the way here is a good chance for somebody to imitate the blind companion of the messenger of Allah (pbuh) whol killed his wife who used to insult the prophet(pbuh).

Our Shaykhs, may Allah reward and Protect them have given us from Qur’an and Sunnah the best actions to take and finish off the like of these two kafirs.

So the options we have to deal with these two kafirs and anyone who follow them in their blasphemous actions are:

1. Killing and annihilating them either by gunning them down, bombing them, or striking their necks with swords or knives

2. Crucifying them, i.e. nailing them on a tree or a pole, and let them die a slow excruciating death

3. Cutting off from opposite sides their hands and feet with axes, swords or guns, and let them wander off until death comes to them.

4. Exiling them from the land

May Allah Azza wa Jall destroy and punish them in this world and in the everlasting painful punishment in the Fire of Hell.


Thankfully there is some level headedness amongst the rabble. Two out of the seven readers who’ve commented actually urge restraint from violence against Matt and Trey.

One comment however did seem to miss an important point;

All in all it was a stupid cartoon – but I was also offended by this, and not just the depiction, but the content – inferring that all Muslims are crazy violent terrorists. This is a good example of how we have been marginalized.


Are shows like South Park who set out to prove a point marginalizing Muslims or are websites like Revolution Muslim who openly threaten criticisers of the religion with violence doing so?

If you’re thin skinned enough to take a ‘stupid cartoon‘ seriously and offer up a congregation of Islamic nutjobs only willing to unsheathe their rusty blades in revenge, other then being ‘crazy violent terrorists‘, how else are the rest of the world supposed to take you?

‘People who can be reasoned with’ wasn’t among the first impressions I got whilst reading Revolution Muslim.
