"South Park" Creators Parker and Stone Threatened With Death by Muslim Group

An article on a New York-based extreme Muslim Web site has inferred that "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker may die because of their depiction of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in last week´s episode of their animated show.

Muhammad was depicted by a bear, an Abu Talha Al-Amrikee said that the episode "outright insulted" the prophet. In the article, which has been since removed along with the entire Web site, a picture of slain filmmaker Theo Van Gogh was shown.

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