First of all, there wasn't much of a joke about Islam. And even if there were, the whole point of those episodes was how no one should be free of criticism, and if it's okay to make fun at Christians and Jews, it should be fine to make fun of Islam too.
Being a bigot shouldn't grant you with any powers to not be criticized. That's the whole point of this.

Can anyone find a transcript of the censored speeches?

I'm sure combat is no cake walk, but you're a bigoted scumbag. Maybe part of the problem with our country's reputation in that region is that we keep sending racist pricks into sensitive situations.

There are no transcripts of them available.

What pissed me off more than censoring Mohhammad's name was that they censored Kyle, Jesus, and Santa at the end. I'm pretty sure Matt and Trey said in their statement that CC censored the speeches even though they had nothing to do with Mohhammad, which is weeeeak.

I have two suggestions:

1. If Comedy Central is such a bunch of cowards, maybe it's time for South Park to find a new home.

There are lots of other cable channels out there, like USA and FX, or HBO and Showtime, that might not be afraid.

2. If CC won't release an uncensored version of 201, maybe "somebody" at SP Studios could anonymously leak an uncensored version to the file-sharing community. Lots of file-sharing sites out there. e.g. ThePirateBay.org. Once it's out, no stopping distribution to anyone who wants it.

I always wondered if CC own South Park, if not i will take the show to some other place or make it independently and with out restrictions.

I logged in this evening hoping that perhaps 201 would be showing, since the NEXT episode is about to be on this evening. No such luck, now instead of the lame "we can't post this cus we are cowards" statement, it's the "we can't post this till 5.22" statement. If you NEVER got to stream it, then your "contractual obligations" against streaming it by a certain date should not be applicable. All this incident did was prove to all of your fans that your "anything can be made fun of" claims for the last 14 years are not true.

The chances of this happening are somewhere between zero and zilch.

If by claiming that you spent a year in Iraq, that you are referring to serving in the military, I have to respectfully come to my own conclusion that you are lying.

There's lots of Iraqis that are grateful for the reform America helped them achieve. While I'll admit it shouldn't be our business to police the world, at least some of them recognize what we tried to do for them. And while a vast majority of Iraqis are Muslim, some are also Christian and atheist.

Like a few other people pointed out to you, the Qu'ran was written before America was ever a country. Hell, it was written before the New World was even discovered.
