...from Muslim groups. What a surprise, sheesh.

FOXNews.com - 'South Park' Creators Could Face Retribution for Depicting Muhammad, Website Warns
'South Park' creators threatened for Mohammed portrayal – amFIX - CNN.com Blogs
‘South Park’ creators say network cut speech - Television

Now, atheist, Christian, agnostic, I think we can all agree that this is a completely screwed up way to deal with a religious difference. I mean, do you ever hear about Christians making death threats on the creators of shows that poke fun at God or Jesus? 'ELL NO. What do you think?

My opinion: for God's sake, it's a fricking character on a TV show. Get over it and quit the purposeless murder. They already killed a guy in Europe over a comic strip. Geez. Besides, don't they have suicide bombings and earthquakes in Iran caused by whores to deal with?

Afterall, it's a peaceful religion.

I wonder if there will be a huge uproar condemning these threats... I think that's unlikely..

Maybe some of us nonreligious individuals should make veiled threats against them and see how they react.... I mean after all I'm an American citizen and my U.S. Constitution guarantees me the right of freedom of speech and if these radical Muslims don't like it, that's just too bad. I can guarantee you if one of them come around my area making threats like that, he'll be pushing up daisies in an unmarked grave here in these mountains real soon, these ole boys don't put up with crap like that.

I have an honest question for anyone who is Muslim or knows more about Islamic faith: is it really that less offensive to have "Muhammad" bleeped out like other profanity? I didn't see the whole episode, just a few clips online, it was hard to follow since every time they said "Muhammad" I instantly assumed they were saying something along the lines of "f***" with the bleeps. I just don't understand how that's inoffensive.
