No matter how hot the political temperature, Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s show can be counted on to go for the jugular. And with Brendan Carr in a mountain of poo and Israel’s PM in its sights, the latest episode doesn’t pull any punches

The Super friends episode parodied/insulted Mohammed who is a religious figure. Netanyahu is a politician and not a religious figure so he’s fair game.

  1. I didn't see the insulted part.

  2. Is that like how they have to take down all the Jesus ones?

You might need to rewatch that episode understanding that recreating any living being’s image is a violation of the prohibition against graven images in Judaism/Islam.

TIL the south park drawers are Muslim

Im not suggesting they are. Im explaining why Muslims see making an image of their prophet so offensive.

It's #3 on most versions of the 10 Commandments so in theory it shouldn't be done by any Abrahamic faith but Rome really liked graven imagery so Christians have statues and paintings of their religious figures.
