Sorry, in Sweden we spell it Usama bin Ladin and in his native language (with roman letters) it's spelled Usāmah bin Muḥammad bin `Awaḍ bin Lāden.

These people have familys to worry about so it's not worth the stress just for a little joke.
.......Wow, way to miss the point lol; these are the creators of South Park, who have taken pot shots at pretty much everyone over the last 10 years, from the gays the scientolgists the blacks the whites and everyone else. Hell, TVTropes explains it better lol:
# Acceptable Targets: Pretty much everyone and everything on the planet, at one point or another, has been lampooned on the show. Even the show itself.
* Except Muhammad. Parker and Stone went for lampooning the fact that he's not an acceptable target, instead (particularly because 5 years before Muhammad started being taboo, he had been mocked with no repercussion!). Added irony in that the airing of the second episode of their 200th anniversary (it was a two-parter) censored all mention of Muhammad's name and speeches at the end
(which didn't mention Muhammad, but rather were about Acceptable Targets ).
The censoring was by Comedy Central, not by the creators themselves.
* Comedy Central went so far as pulling it from ever airing again. They won't even let it be streamed on the show's official website! If you saw part one, and missed part two, good luck finding it.
* Needless to say, they're not amused.
* Although it was pretty damn amusing nonetheless.
* Found it! Bolded for the point.

Are you going to address my points proper or are you just going to continue to target my outlying points and spout emotional rhetoric like a bad conservative talk show host?

Your posts are in general rather point-less, all you do is yap about how illogical I am, when you yourself completely ignore my vital poins. And of course the classic insecure troll yelling.
And yes, I happen to be conservative. We can discuss that as well if you'd like.

To quote one of my teachers; "Islam is the world's biggest terrorist organisation and they'll look for any reason to pick a fight with us"
The islamic culture's main structure is to stone anyone who doesn't agree.
"Not all muslims are terrorists - but nearly all terrorists are muslims"

None of those groups would try to kill the creators for little jokes though.
Ha, right. If anyone really hated South Park as much as the followers of Muhammad supposedly would, you'd have any crazy going for them with a gun. But again, as you only seemed to read what you wanted to from the above, I'll quote it again:
# Acceptable Targets: Pretty much everyone and everything on the planet, at one point or another, has been lampooned on the show. Even the show itself.
* Except Muhammad. Parker and Stone went for lampooning the fact that he's not an acceptable target, instead (particularly because 5 years before Muhammad started being taboo, he had been mocked with no repercussion!).

* Needless to say, they're not amused.
* Although it was pretty damn amusing nonetheless.
* Found it!In other words, the censoring was done for no reason, as they weren't even taking shots at Muhammad, they were talking about Acceptable Targets. It was just a case of Comedy Central blowing things out of proportion, and feeling the bite of the 'terrorists' are out to get us... which is just stupid lol.

Racist there; how is he a teacher?

Since when does your religion make you belong to another race? And that teacher is just being realistic, not racist. The term racist means believing in being superior to another race, even saying that black people do these and those bad things isn't racist.
There are tons of black christians...

Your posts are in general rather point-lessThe bits you quote, yes.all you do is yap about how illogical I amI have mentioned neither logic nor the lack of it, yet you paint me as Dr. Spock?when you yourself completely ignore my vital poinsThe last time you made anything approaching a "point" was this:You know, neither is one supposed to draw the face of god within christianity. I addressed it, you didn't reply.And of course the classic insecure troll yelling.I asked you a question, am I to take it from this post that your answer is a resounding "No!"?
And yes, I happen to be conservative. We can discuss that as well if you'd like.Again, you are pulling away from the debate you are claiming to be trying to stoke.
And that teacher is just being realisticYou litterally beleive this? Really?even saying that black people do these and those bad things isn't racist.Yeah? No, that's pretty racist.

Racism can also be against other religions, and by saying that "Islam is the world's biggest terrorist organisation and they'll look for any reason to pick a fight with us" he's pretty much saying every Muslim in the world is a terrorist..... which, a person with any common sense knows isn't true.

As little as a cartoon I said, not the occupation of israel or general discrimination
The Crusades; difference of religion. The KKK difference of the colour of skin. The Nazi's.... yeah don't even need an example there. At the base though, same thing; they kill because of something stupid... but again, as everyone here seems to be too thick to understand: The South Park Cartoon did not, in any way shape or form, actually insult Muhammad, they were making a comment about Acceptable Targets.
Really, if your going to comment on something, go watch the two-part episode before you start screaming it's all about 'terrorism' and 'threats to the creators'.... who don't give a flying ^&*! what anyone says or thinks; that's why they made South Park in the first place.

He's a math teacher, he's really smart and friendly but he feels strongly against muslims as most of my school does.
Wow.....

Ah, semantics. Wonderful.
As well does not mean instead of.It's a pity that instead of addressing that single point
as well
as the rest of my points, you have addressed it
instead of
the rest of my points.
he's really smart and friendlybut he feels strongly against muslimsThese two things do not go in a sentence together.
