South Park Facing Death Threats?


Fox News - The creators of South Park, an animated televison show on Comedy Central, have received death threats from a Muslim group for a recent episode that depicted the prophet Mohammad - in a bear suit. Posted on a Web site, RevolutionMuslim.com, the author of a post said that the creators of the show, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, "will probably end up like Theo van Gogh for airing this show." Van Gogh was a Dutch filmmaker murdered in 2004 after making a documentary on violence against Muslim women.

Comedy Central decided later to censor the episode in a response to the death threats. Parker and Stone say they had nothing to do with the censorship decision.
