it will be interesting to hear peoples views on this.
You're playing right into the fear here. Think about it.

Again that works both ways, they seem to treat anyone that disagrees with showing mohammad as an enemy that must be killed. I will never have any respect for anyone that kills another person because of a cartoon or threatens such action. I will also never have any respect for people who try and suppress free speech.
Consider for a moment what this group is doing, they are using violence or the promise of violence to stop someone expressing their belief, isn't this terrorism? If we allow these people to dictate what can and cannot be shown just because they threaten violence then i could get a ton of stuff i don't like banned and you would have to defend me in doing so.

The freedom of speech they enjoy with in our borders apparently does not apply to South Park in their opinion.
Did you actually read their supposed "threat"??? It wasn't a threat at all. It was a warning that others might take it into action.
Do you not realize that giving your opinion also counts as free speech? Or is free speech only important when you're white? Apparently it's a good idea to stifle free speech by using illegal and intrusive means. You only support things like that til it happens to you.
They supposed "threat" was:
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 posting said. A photo of van Gogh's body lying in the street was included with the original posting, which has been unavailable to some Web users since news of the item broke earlier this week. "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.

So when everybody was warning when Obama was running for president that he might get assassinated, that counts a threat??
Including when it comes from mainstream pundits?
Or when people on ATS say that there might be a false flag, that means that they are threatening to do a false flag themselves?
Your reasoning is very selective...

What I don't understand is, Islam is supposed to ban ALL images of any of they're prophets. So why aren't they going after the Charleton Heston Moses, Or Jim Cavezial Jesus?

I do treat others as i wish to be treated. They have every right to say the program should not have been aaired or should have been censored. They do not have the right to threaten violence. Now you of course claim they didn't do this but it's easy enough to read between the lines. They can't directly threaten because they will be arrested and so they talk about others committing the violence.
As i said earlier, consider for a moment if someone said to a police officer "someones going to break your legs if you don't leave me alone". Now this person hasn't said they will break the officers legs but of course the threat is very clear and that person would be arrested.
These people knew exactly what they were doing. The South Park people are well aware of the risks so why bother mentioning it? Other then to pressure them further.
