Make Fun of Any Religion you want, particularly Christianity, but don't you dare say anything bad about Scientology or Islam

Sometimes the level of hypocrisy in our PC world is beyond understanding.  That's why I stumbled across this article from a year ago and thought you would find it interesting.  What weenies.

 

'Chef' quits 'South Park' over Scientology

March 13, 2006: Outspoken Scientologist Isaac Hayes, an Oscar-winning singer heard by millions in recent years as the "Chef" character on "South Park," quit the cartoon four months after an episode spoofing Scientology

"There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins," the 63-year-old soul singer said. "Religious beliefs are sacred to people, and at all times should be respected and honored."

"South Park" co-creator Matt Stone responded sharply, saying, "This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology. ... He has no problem – and he's cashed plenty of checks – with our show making fun of Christians." 

He said he and co-creator Trey Parker "never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin."
