Hold on there, don't go speaking for all of Islam,
in Sunni Islam, yes, its considered a sin by all major schools of thought, but thats not really the case in the shia tradition.
Until not that long ago you could buy posters of Mohammed in Tehran (saw it done in a british documentary... Mo looked like he went heavy on the make up).
> "freedom-of-expression (which should be held dearly) is not freedom to attack other's values."
Freedom of speech/expression isn't merely the right of saying what _you_ want, it is also the right for others to hear/see it, so when asking for people not to express their views because some can be offended, you have actually attacked my values, because maybe (and in this case, definitely) I'm very interested.
So I do hope you'll condemn a campaign of whispered threats of horrible violence for people who just want to express themselves, rather than condemning southpark (which granted you didn't, just said you didn't like them).
