Man jailed for threatening South Park writers (Muhammad in a bear suit)
The Guardian ^ | Friday 22 June 2012

Posted on 06/23/2012 8:44:08 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

A Muslim convert from New York has been sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison after admitting threatening the writers of South Park over their depiction of the prophet Muhammad.

Jesse Curtis Morton, 33, alias Younus Abdullah Muhammed, ran a website that encouraged Muslims to engage in violence against perceived enemies of Islam.

In February he pleaded guilty to making threatening communications, using the internet to put others in fear and using his position as leader of the Revolution Muslim organisation's websites to conspire to commit murder. The sentence was handed down in a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.

The US attorney Neil MacBride said: "Jesse Morton sought to inspire Muslims to engage in terrorism by providing doctrinal justification for violence against civilians in the name of Islam. His crimes not only put people's lives forever in danger, but they also chilled free expression out of fear of retaliation by violent terrorists."

Morton worked on website postings with Zachary Chesser, of Virginia, who pleaded guilty in October 2010 to sending threatening communications to the South Park writers and to other charges. Last year Chesser was sentenced to 25 years in prison, and Morton was arrested in Rabat, Morocco, and brought back to the US.

He admitted helping Chesser in taking repeated steps in April 2010 to encourage extremists to attack the writers for an episode that depicted Muhammad in a bear suit. Most Muslims consider any depiction of the founder of Islam as offensive.

However, there have been no death threats from Christians or Jews, as far as I know. Yet SP does a Job on Jesus and Moses as well.

Not that I would encourage my brethren to do so. Jesus and Moses are both BIG ENOUGH to rise above the satire of the SP writers.

Evidently Mo is NOT.

EV, can you ping this?

It’s a good thing this loon didn’t see the Super Best Friends episode.

The ROP disciple might have bombed a building.

Did you hear he “abused” (I’m tired of butt rape being called “abuse” they should say “rape”) his own adopted son too? He came forward too late to testify.

Sandusky’s fag hag should thrown in the cell with him. She knew EVERYTHING. Filthy pig.
