Translation: If you keep drawing the prophet at some point someone who really believes will act on it, right?

Sorry. We in the west don’t live like that.

Sort of, even South Park self censored when it came to drawing an animated Muhammad.

I think you may have missed their message. That they self censored for fear of violent retaliation makes strong ridicule of the threatening group. It exemplifies its contrast with a free society.

It essentially says, "They are so lacking of basic compassion that even jokes are not allowed."

That's the joke.
