US man guilty of urging attack on South Park writers

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11592915

A US man has pleaded guilty to supporting a Somali Islamist militant group and encouraging attacks on the writers of cartoon show South Park.

Prosecutors said Zachary Adam Chesser, 20, was outraged by the cartoon's perceived mockery of the prophet Muhammad.

Chesser sought twice to travel to Somalia to join al-Shabab, which the US designates as a terrorist group.

The American Muslim convert faces up to 30 years in prison.

'Solicitation to murder'
Prosecutors said Chesser of Fairfax County in the state of Virginia also posted to an Islamist militant website the personal contact information of people who had joined an "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" Facebook group.

"Zachary Chesser seriously endangered the lives of innocent people who will remain at risk for many years to come," US Attorney Neil MacBride said in a statement.

"His solicitation of extremists to murder US citizens also caused people throughout the country to fear speaking out - even in jest - lest they also be labelled as enemies who deserved to be killed."

US investigators said Chesser was a follower of radical US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is believed to be in Yemen with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

Prosecutors said Chesser posted messages online from Mr al-Awlaki in which he called for violent attacks, and posted links to internet forums giving advice on how to plan them.

In addition, Chesser pleaded guilty to urging people to plant suspicious packages in public places in order to "densensitise" police so a real bomb would escape notice.

Al-Shabab wants to impose a strict version of Sharia law in Somalia, where they control most of the south and centre of the country. The fragile UN-backed government only controls parts of the capital, Mogadishu.

The US Justice Department said that in April Chesser sought to goad Islamist militants to attack the writers of the popular US cartoon South Park in retaliation for the show's depiction of Muhammad wearing a bear suit.

Prosecutors said he urged online readers to "pay them a visit".

Chesser pleaded guilty to two counts of communicating threats and soliciting crimes of violence, as well as to supporting an al-Qaeda linked terrorist group.

such a shame, i saw those episodes as im a great fan of south park, the writers are absolute genius. they have a bash at every religion in those two episodes, and who moans? only the muslims, my thinking is that if you dont like it dont watch it, and with modern sky tv, you have got almost a 1000 channels of crap to watch.
i would have thought the jewish comunity would be the first to moan about southpark since they have been mocking judaism since 1997 when the show first began. and with the so called "anti-semetic police" that are supposed to exist every viewer should be on there list.
what i dont understand the most is that up untill around the medievil period it was quite acceptable to depict images of mohammed, and then the tide turns and they call for blood. such lunacy!
