- South Park's Mormon musical should come to the West End | Phelim O'Neill
Messrs Parker and Stone may love lampooning the religious, but their satire is always respectful – at least to things made in heaven rather than earthA stage musical about Mormon missionaries written by the creators of South Park sounds, at first, like something designed with the express purpose of causing controversy. Like many of the projects undertaken by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, however, it sounds far more scandalous than it actually is – and is actually very respectful to religious beliefs. They may take shots at how beliefs are presented by believers, or at how non-believers have a hard time accepting any faith's more outlandish concepts, but fundamental tenets remain unscathed by their piercing wit. They'll mock anything earthly, in other words, but the spiritual they tend to leave well alone. For, as the Monty Python team realised when writing Life of Brian, despite the many faults of his many followers Jesus (who does appear in the new musical) is basically one of the good guys.With rumours that the show, which has been winning awards on Broadway, is set to come to the West End, what should we expect? Religion and musicals have long been integral parts of Parker and Stone's comedy, even since their first major project together: the zero-budget student movie Cannibal! The Musical, which included Mormon travellers in its spoofery. Given that they were raised and schooled in Colorado – not far from Utah, where approximately 60% of the population are followers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – Mormonism is not a religion they merely viewed from afar. Their next feature film, the sporadically hilarious Orgazmo, featured Parker as a martial-arts expert Mormon missionary who ends up becoming the titular porn star (he's trying to raise money to g 各氏パーカーとストーンは、宗教を風。愛し、their風刺は常に尊重して - ア。。u200b。。u200bーサstageではなく、神の思し召しによるものサウスパークのクリエイターによって書かれたモルモン教の宣教師の音楽少なくとも最初は、サウンドExpressを使用して設計されたようなもの論争を引き起こすの目的

- Europe must defend free expression | Thorbjørn Jagland
As we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, everyone should remember that our democracy depends on this important rightThe fate of imprisoned editor Eynulla Fatullayev is a matter of grave concern. He has been jailed for three years on dubious charges by the Azerbaijani authorities. He is an award-winning journalist who was just doing his job. The European Court of Human Rights decided last month that he should be released immediately.The court decision said Azerbaijan had violated three articles of the European Convention on Human Rights, including article 10 concerning the right to freedom of expression. Azerbaijan signed the convention in January 2001, and ratified it in April 2002. As a signatory, Azerbaijan is legally bound to comply with these rulings. Nothing more needs to be said.The fate of artist Lars Vilks and cartoonist Kurt Westergaard also concerns me. They have both received death threats. Westergaard barely escaped an attempt on his life. They are both under threat from Islamists for their caricatures of Muhammad and of Islam. They are not in prison, but the threat of violence will make their life a prison.As secretary-general of the Council of Europe, I strongly believe that freedom of expression is fundamental to our values, and something that all 47 member states must always defend, with neither compromise nor apology.As we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, we see that freedom of expression is threatened not just in Europe but around the world. Google left the Chinese market because of censorship concerns. An episode of the popular American comedy programme South Park was censored after Islamists threatened the show's creators for their depiction of the prophet Muhammad.In 2010 we mark 60 years of the European convention on human rights. Article 10 of 我々は世界報道自由の日を祝うように、誰もが私たちの民主主義は投獄エディタEynulla Fatullayevのこの重要なrightTheの運命に依存忘れてはならない重大な懸念の問題です
