pff, as if they couldn't see this coming. Remember that Danish cartoonist that almost got murdered a year (iirc) or so ago? (EDIT: oh he was mentioned in that last vid, which I didn't watch when I made this post :V)
I couldn't care less for these people (but they're still people, so no, I'm not saying they should be killed) to be honest, they mock everything and it's not really all that weird that someone goes 'fuck you, this is the last time you've messed with us'
Also, most people in this thread are doing a good job failing to look at something from another perspective. They're called extremists for a reason. And most of you aren't getting the point, it's not as much a problem of those people themselves being ashamed, in which case they could just turn off the tv like you people seem to think for the most part. The problem is, that these devs think they have the right to mock everything, and there's some people that don't like being mocked (as you can see).
also lol devs are challenging them.

Well then, maybe those people should get the hell out of a country that values freedom of speech and expression, and move to an oppressive theocracy of their choice.
I myself was born in a country completely intolerant to criticism or mockery of it's institutions (USSR), so i would know.

Fair enough, but let's be honest: he is far from being the only psychopath motivated by this "religious righteousness". From rioters against Danish cartoonists, to these guys - there are enough people responsible for making western image of Islam what it is.

What I found really disturbing was in the interview.
One of the SP creators said, "We are not going to make jokes about Catholicism because they won't hurt us, and not make jokes about Islam because they will hurt us."
And Comedy Central and whoever are bleeping everything out and not letting them show Muhammed, so what does this say to other religions? Go threaten people and we won't be made fun of anymore. Just pathetic. And Muslim extremists can post that stuff on the internet, but SP can't post a freaking picture of Muhammed?
The extremists are winning. We are scared of them.

the "extremists" have ALWAYS been winning, civilization was built OUT OF fear OF them. to protect us from the extremists. by fearing them and protecting ourselves from them, they win.
By bowing down to them, they win.
the only solution can be found by leveling with and tolerating each other, learning what our differences are, why they are, and accepting them, regardless of weather or not we agree with them.
stupid people rule the world. never forget it or think otherwise.

I'm a muslim myself, just brush it off as a joke like everyone else should, southpark is deliberately politically incorrect
yep, pretty much this
the fact that these extremists take jokes this seriously could be danerous ,but i wouldn't be worried if i was the southpark guys
