Relax already!

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stoned were threatened by Revolution Muslim for their latest episode which premeired April 14th, which featured a censored out Muhammad. According this article the duo disrespected their prophet Muhammad and they are not taking this lightly. In fact the post mentioned that the creators could end up like Theo Van Gogh for airing the episode. If you're not familiar with Theo Van Gogh, he was murdered, being shot eight times. This is just ridiculous to me. The idea that comedians would get death threats for a harmless show. Yes, South Park can be offensive, but really?!? DEATH THREATS?! this is just insanity. In my opinion, Revolution Muslim's follow up regarding the episode is ridiculous, and I can't even keep a straight face reading their response, "By placing the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a bear suit, the creators of South Park sought to insult the sacred, and show their blatant and general disregard for religion. By insulting our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) without the outright depicting of his image, the creators of South Park thought that they had found some loophole in the Muslim faith for them to mock. " South Park has poked fun at every religion and as much as it can be seen as offensive, I think it's absolutely crazy to think they are receiving death threats!
