VIDEO - Jon Stewart, to "Revolution Muslim," the South Park death threat guys: "GO FUCK YOURSELF."


Last night Jon Stewart came to the aid of his Comedy Central family, defending "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for their controversial (and censored) episode in which they portrayed Muhammad.

The censorship by Comedy Central was meant to protect Parker and Stone, following death threats from radical, NY-based Revolution Muslim. Yeah, NY based, which according to Stewart means that while they praise Osama Bin Laden and celebrate 9/11, they have access our theater district, Jewish delis, and parks.

"These numbnuts get to enjoy it. All because of how much we, in this country, value and protect even their freedom of expression. "
Stewart, himself, is no stranger to mocking religions. After acknowledging how well each faith has handled the show's ridicule, he presented an epic reel of the show's religion jokes over the years.

And keeping consistent with the theme of the week, Stewart had one last thing to say to Revolution Muslim: "Go F--k Yourselves." And again, he did it through song. Nice way to close out a strong week for the "Daily Show."

1. I hope he doesn't make himself and his young family a target...
from some of the more violent elements we have to deal with today.

2. I'm curious as to why any organization can make death threats and not be
arrested or at least taken in for questioning. Why not consider it a terror threat and take it seriously, with FBI and homeland security and all that?
