South Park has depicted Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed as cartoon superheroes in one of its episodes, reports the UK's Telegraph, without much protest from anyone, despite repeated showings on TV in the US and Europe. Could it be because South Park is funny? Quite by coincidence, all South Park episodes are currently downloadable free over here. The one with the Superheroes is The Super Best Friends (140MB).
about 200 Muslims rallied outside the offices of The Philadelphia Inquirer in the U.S. to express their anger over the newspaper's decision to reprint one of the cartoons

Nope. That certainly can't be it.
It's because they rarely take a stand for or against anything.
