What will Obama do about this ? RevolutionMuslim.Com Threatens Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Creators of South Park – Published April 19, 2010 by: Julia Bodeeb The radical, pro-Jihad website RevolutionMuslim.com has issued a threat to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the comedy show "South Park." The website wants the South Park creators to stop pillorying Muhammad on their show. The website rants about how deeply offended it is that Mohammed was portrayed in a bear suit in the South Park episode. In the midst of the website's threats about South Park sketch about Muhammad they show a photo of the corpse of Theo Von Gogh, with a knife wedged in his chest. This certainly seems to be a death threat to the creators of South Park. The website states "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." This website is based in New York City. It is actively making threats against Americans. It is also actively encouraging anti-American jihad. The website also listed contact information for the production studios of South Park. Surely this was another attempt to threaten Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It is a senseless threat anyway; Hollywood production studios already have extremely high security because obviously they are deemed part of the "infidel" aspect of America, according to the radical terrorists. To understand the threat against Trey and Matt, Theo Van Gogh was a Dutch filmmaker and writer. He was the great grandson of the brother of the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. Theo created the film "Submission" about violence to women in varied Muslim countries where Islam is practiced. In November, 2004 he was shot to death in Amsterdam in broad daylight. A note was left jabbed into his body with a knife. It threatened death to his co-filmmaker on Submission, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Attack on Life of Cartoonist In light of the recent attack on Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, the threats on the creators of South Park cannot be taken lightly. Westergaard had been threatened due to his cartoons about Muhammad, had to go to a panic room in his home to avoid attack by a machete wielding terrorist who allegedly wanted to kill him. America Believes in Freedom of Speech Also, this is America. The website MuslimRevolution needs to understand that here we have freedom of speech. It is criminal to threaten someone because you do not agree with his or her viewpoint. Also, in this country we use comedy for many reasons. If these two comedy show creators chose to make a point with this skit, whatever it may be, that is their right. We have freedom of expression here. If you don't like that perhaps you don't belong in America. Maybe you belong in the mountains of Pakistan with Osama bin Laden. What is the point of living here if you do not accept or like the culture? In America, political cartoons and shows are part of the varied ways we express opinions. It is part of our freedom of speech. Many religions have many different types of rules. However, in America no one is allowed to try to enforce those rules on a person who is speaking their opinion. Issuing a death threat on a radical website is not acceptable and it is not legal. Feds Need to Shut Website Down The website MuslimRevolution is located in New York City. It should be shut down immediately. Why does the U.S. government allow radical websites that incite violence to stay online? CNN reports that this website has spoken of pride of Osama bin Laden and in support of Jihad. The website also references Anwar al Awlaki, the radical American Imam who now resides in Yemen. He is allegedly actively involved in recruiting young men for jihad with al Qaeda. The CIA is actively seeking to capture Anwar al Awlaki due to his interactions with the undie bomber who attempted to blow up a flight over Detroit, and also with Major Hasan who allegedly shot soldiers and staff at Fort Hood, Texas. The audio of a speech made by al Awlaki discusses "assassinating those who have defamed the Prophet Mohammed," reports CNN. Why is a website like this allowed to operate? In New York City of all places? The Feds need to shut this site down pronto. It is inciting violence against America. The contact info for the radical, pro-jihad site, MuslimRevolution.com is listed as: E-mail: RevolutionMuslim@gmail.com and telephone: 212-203-7606. The person who runs the website is said to be Zachary Chesser. Sources: news.blogs.cnn.com revolutionmuslim.com youtube.com cnn.com cceia.org freerepublic.com associatedcontent.com

And from Chrysler: "The plan comes as Chrysler, in which Fiat owns a 20% stake, reported a net loss of $197 million on revenue of $9.7 billion for the first three months of the year. It also reported a first-quarter operating profit of $143 million, an improvement from the preceding quarter, driven by price discipline and some mix improvement due to the launch of the Ram Heavy Duty pickup. These are the first results Chrysler has released since emerging from bankruptcy last June. The firm reported a net loss of $3.78 billion on revenue of $17.7 billion for the period from June 10 until Dec. 31 last year. In comparison, General Motors Co. has lost $4.3 billion since exiting bankruptcy last summer. Chrysler confirmed its targets for the year, including an operating profit of between zero and $200 million as well as revenue of between $40 billion and $45 billion. "There has already been an uptick in customer traffic in our dealerships in [the first quarter] and we are confident that Chrysler sales will continue to increase as we launch new products in the second quarter," said Sergio Marchionne, chief executive of Chrysler and Fiat, in a statement." marketwatch.com
