Comedy Central (owned by Viacom) has edited recent episodes of South Park (200 & 201) because of [non]threats from a radical Muslim terrorist group.
To be honest here, not all Muslims are terrorists, and not all terrorists are Muslim.
I have even read that an earlier episodes of South Park featuring the Super Best Friends has been changed now as well.
Apparently it is ok to make fun of world leaders, celebrities, and figures from other major religions. Just not a prophet from one specific religion, not even the God.
No I don't want anyone to be hurt either but thanks for caving. I would say that Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park creators) are aware of the possible risk from terrorists and chose to risk it.
