I am a big fan of South Park and have been since I started watching the show, over a decade ago. Unfortunately, now, the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, have had an informal “fatwa” issued against them. While it’s not an “official threat,” I side with Ayaan Hirsi Ali (author of Infidel) when she says: “So how worried should the creators of ‘South Park’ be about the ‘marginal figures’ who now threaten them? Very. In essence, Mr. Amrikee’s posting is an informal fatwa.” (WSJ). I recommend reading her whole article, but her major point is that we need to defend Matt and Trey if we want to defend freedom itself and the principles of a free society.
I urge everyone to repost the pictures of the Danish cartoonists on their blogs or facebook and to lend their support to Matt and Trey.
