South Park Censored after death threats

Comedy Central has decided to censor parts of a controversial 'South Park' episode featuring the Prophet Muhammad characterized in a bear suit.  

The show bleeped the words "Prophet Muhammad" and covered the character's face with a block reading "Censored." The episode, which was the show's 201st, is not currently available for streaming. "We do not have network approval to stream our original version of the show," the creators wrote onSouthParkStudios.com.

"On Thursday morning, a spokesman for Comedy Central confirmed that the network had added more bleeps to the episode than were in the cut delivered by South Park Studios, and that it was not giving permission for the episode to run on the studio's Web site," the New York Times reports.

Revolution Muslim alluded on its Web site that the actions of 'South Park' creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker could earn them a fate like filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, who was murdered in Amsterdam in 2004 as vengeance for a film investigating the abuse of Muslim women in parts of Islamic society.

"We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show," the post reads. "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."

Abu Talhah al Amrikee, the author of the post, told FOX, "It's not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome. They're going to be basically on a list in the back of the minds of a large number of Muslims. It's just the reality."

It's a sad state that we live in where political speech has to be censored.  If somebody has a criticism of another religion, they should be allowed to exercise their freedom of speech.  In our world, we are way to sensitive to others opinions about our beliefs.  We forget that everybody has an opinion and needs to learn how to tolerate others' opinon's of how we believe.  Come on, let's learn how to get along and not be so quick to hate each other.
