They should have at least posted an announcement, on the show, that it was censored because Muslims had threatened to murder them for showing it.

The South Park guys didn’t censor it - Comedy Central did.

The funny thing is that the cowardice shown by that network will not alleviate the risk to the writers of the show.

They’re marked men.

Sad is what this is, our slavish kowtowing to these nutjobs and the respect shown by CNN in interviewing the numbnut who runs RevolutionMuslim.

If that puppy didn’t advocate violence upon all unbelievers in that interview, I don’t know what constitutes a direct threat upon all of us.

You’d think it’d take the deaths of 3000+ Americans on our soil to wake us up or something.

They did:

UPDATE: Parker and Stone comment on "South Park" censorship:

In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We'll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we'll see what happens to it.
