South Park consistently gets away with ridiculing religions. The
"Mormon" episode for instance was blatant deconstruction and debunking
of the religion (and hilarious to boot). But perhaps fundamentalists
don't care about a TV channel that targets stoners. :)

fyi, the cartoons themselves are here [1] and they seem pretty
inoffensive (even if any depiction of mohammed is in itself supposedly
offensive, most of the cartoons just have a guy in a turban with no
name, and one refers to a schoolboy named mohammed). this is not the
original posting but a (presumably lower-traffic) copy on daryl
cagle's cartoonist blog which as you can imagine is full of stuff
related to these - it is The Big Story in cartoonworld [2].
the AEL cartoons are certainly nastier - as are many of the other
cartoons on cagle's blog that perhaps remain inoffensive since they
have no mohammed.
