Not to mention the treatment they gave the Scientologists, AND the
Catholics. However, the Catholic episode was deemed offensive
enough that it was blocked from running again when they did their
end-of-season South Park marathon featuring all the new episodes.
I'd love to see how they treat Islam, specifically because they're a
cartoon and could make great hay with this cartoon scandal.
However, Matt and Trey are already in doo doo with the Mormons,
Catholics, and Scientologists as it is, so maybe they don't want to
get into it with Islamic suicidal psychos too, or they'll be making
cartoons in undisclosed locations for the rest of their lives. Or
maybe, they'll just move to Denmark.
