    This think tank raises some good points about the benefits of ridiculing fanatical religion. How amazing to think that the ever crude writers of "South Park" are leading society in the way it should be going - especially as regards Islam and the violence triggered by any display of Mohammed.

    This also points the way for breaking the hypnotic spell that enslaves Witless thralls: open ridicule of Watchtower leadership and their endless false prophecy. Food for thought in many ways.

    What is funny about South Park is they did show Muhammad in season 5. The Super Friends their latest episode they mentioned why was it ok back then to show Muhammad but today we can't. South Parks web page has all episodes uncut all seasons and I checked it out today and there was Muhammad plain as day before all the uproar. I think it is hilarious that Comedy Central still refuses to show a picture of Muhammad but they showed The Hindu God (can't remember the name) snorting cocaine while Jesus told him not to do that in front of the children. South Park picks on everything and everything. I am not shocked easily, but almost every new episode I say OMG how the hell do they get away with it. One of the funniest interviews I saw was with Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The question was are you anti Semitic? Answer... No I am Jewish.. The other said, Yes I hate Jews.

    Appeasement doesn't work with radicals any more than it works with raising children. It just emboldens them further. I think there should be Mohammad dart boards, toilet paper, shooting targets, the whole nine yards. Same goes for Watchtower and the GB members.

    I'm up for GB toilet paper! Oh, wait... right we already have that...the Watchtower.

    I think dried strips of bacon could be packaged in clear bags, strapped to your shoulders and labled as "Terrorist Repelent".

    I'd also like a roll of two-ply Koran, with absorbent quilted caligraphy.

    Love South Park.
