According to the South Park Studios webpage, Comedy Central aurally censored episode "201" after delivery but before airing. The censored version bleeps out any mention of the word 'Muhammed', as well as entire speeches given by Kyle, Jesus and Santa at the end of the episode. The episode is not officially available online on South Park Studios because the studio does not have network clearance to air the unedited version. As of April 22, 2010, South Park Studios also no longer streams the episode "Super Best Friends", which portrayed a non-disguised image of Muhammed and had actually been available for streaming prior to the "201" controversy.
On the afternoon of April 22 the creators posted this statement to media outlets:
"In the 14 years we’ve been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn’t stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn’t some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle’s customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn’t mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too."

As a side note, after just watching ep. 200. Randy Marsh actually showed a depiction of prophet Muhammad in episode 200. But seems like the (radical) muslims somehow missed that. They were only angry about the bear suit.
