LET US NOT BE JUDGMENTAL – THERE ARE WORSE THINGS THAN DEATH – AT 7:52 A.M. ET:  The proprietors of the "South Park" franchise have offended the keepers of the religion of peace, with predictable results.  Why can't these Hollywood types understand the new order?  From Fox:

A radical Islamic website is warning the creators of "South Park" that they could face violent retribution for depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit during an episode broadcast on Comedy Central last week.

They've done the same thing with Jesus and Moses, but their fans have a bit more sense of humor.

RevolutionMuslim.com posted the warning following the 200th episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "South Park," which included a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad disguised in a bear suit. The Web posting also included a graphic photo of Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was murdered in 2004 after making a documentary on violence against Muslim women.

"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 reads. "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."

Reaching by phone early Tuesday, Abu Talhah al Amrikee, the author of the post, said he wrote the entry to "raise awareness." He said the grisly photograph of van Gogh was meant to "explain the severity" of what Parker and Stone did by mocking Muhammad.

"It's not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome," al Amrikee said, referring to the possibility that Parker and Stone could be murdered for mocking Muhammad. "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."

Large number?  Gee, hasn't Obama told us that the radicals constitute a tiny number?  Someone has a math problem.  Little Sharp calculators are available.

Al Amrikee said the website is considering a protest against the "disgusting" show, which also depicted the Prophet Muhammad in an episode on July 4, 2001.

"This is not a small thing," he said. "We should do whatever we can to make sure it does not happen again."

COMMENT:  We await reaction from the ACLU, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, PEN, and other thoroughly unreliable defenders of free speech.
