NEW YORK — A radical Muslim group has warned the creators of “South Park” that they could face violent retribution for depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit during last week’s episode.
The website has since been taken down, but a cached version shows the message to “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
The posting by Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee warns Parker and Stone that they could face the same fate as Theo Van Gogh. The Dutch filmmaker was murdered in 2004 after directing a film written by a Muslim woman who rejects the Prophet Muhammad as a guide for today’s morality.
