#1 That particular episode has never been censored in the US. Ljevakovic must be mistaking this episode with the more recent "Cartoon Wars" episode that Viacom censored.

#3  "The cartoon was even censored in the United States ... " Any proof of that?

#4 Nope, cf Destro comment; Lancasters over Dresden had this covered in his blog, too lazy to search for the link... wait... I think I'm mustering the will at this very moment... here it is.

As far as I know, the "Superfirends" ep never was censored in any western country, it even aired in France, though I didn't see that one (it was on a paying channel). Remember, it was BEFORE the muslim brotherhood so successfully blackmailed the West with its fabricated "cartoons controversy". Now, I don't think it would be aired without an afterthought, or even aired at all, depending on the PC climate.

#5 He's got his episodes mixed up.

The "Superfriends" one was never banned, but apparently a later one that was going to feature old Mo in an episode of "Family Guy" that Cartman was trying to keep from being broadcast kinda/sorta was censored by Comedy Central (at least, that's what they said during the episode, anyway.)

The episode was shown with a black screen saying Comedy Central wouldn't let them depict Mo, along with clips of OBL and Zawahiri (?spelling) getting their noses out of joint about it.

You left out the part about showing Christ crapping on the American flag. While not subtle, Parker and Stone sure as hell showed who you can offend and who you can't.

I'd wager that the only reason you've not seen this on South Park yet is that Parker & Stone haven't thought of it.

#11 Yep, the great, peaceful and tolerant mooslimb religion - don't question it, don't even think about it.

The descendants of mohammad (& so-called descendants) have been laughing their way to the bank ever since. Never underestimate the stupidity of those who do not want to think for themselves or take responsiblity for their actions. So let's all sing it together - "Allan hates you this I know because the koran tells me so."

Skinless people in a sandpaper world. And world-class whiners, at that.

#16 Yeah, Robert, forgot about the "al-Qaeda cartoon" they showed at the end. My bad!
