YMUK Seethes About Cartoon

A group called Young Muslims UK is completely bent out of shape about ... wait for it ... South Park: Complain Against Mockery Of Prophets In South Park On Channel 4. (Hat tip: James.)
The episode of South Park broadcast on 10th October 2003 at 11.40 pm featured the Prophets Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) portrayed as ridiculous super-heroes struggling to defeat David Blaine! It's not funny and it's not clever!
Is a tiny bit of respect really too much to ask? Will the kuffar soon be using the name of the Last Prophet (pbuh) as a swear word, in the same way that they already abuse the name of Jesus (pbuh)? It is part of our aqeedah to defend the Prophets! Or will we stand by silently?
Make your feelings clear to Channel 4. Please bombard them with calls and e-mails, making the following points:
* The episode of South Park entitled 'Super Best Friends' was deeply hurtful to Muslims.
* Yes, we are aware that 'South Park' is intended to be offensive and is certainly not pretending to be a factual representation. But this programme was deliberately offensive to all Muslims by subjecting no less than three of their most respected prophets to ridicule - Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
* To Muslims it is very important never to make any pictorial representations of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It is therefore very upsetting for Muslim viewers that in this programme Muhammad (pbuh) was drawn in cartoon form, with a face and speaking role. The cartoon portrayed Muhammad in a ridiculous and offensive manner. He carried a rifle and amongst other things was made to fly around shooting fire from his fingers at a statue brought to life.
Notice: even as they whine and seethe about how offended and degraded they are by an episode of South Park, they use bigoted hate speech to describe non-Muslims—kuffar.
