Why is it offensive to make fun of Mohammed?

[Tayasaurus]

Legit question.

I've tried searching it but all I get are websites with jokes based on it.

A better question is why it is considered acceptable to mock Christians but not acceptable to mock Muslims
But it goes without saying that the ways of the world are foolishness and wickedness.

[Muslim]

Because they take their religion very seriously.

[Gumba Jonny]

it's because he's a prophet and is a very important figure to the islamic people
and they get offended all the time

[bejacks]

Because muslims have no sense of humor whatsoever.

[psychomutt]

kind of a dumb question. it's because muslims respect him and stuff, he pretty much founded islam but personally i think hes just a false prophet

[Gumba Jonny]

also how is it bad to draw mohammed if people in theory shouldn't even know what he looks like??

[Jairo]

because he's the prophet of islam?

it's about as offensive to them as it is making fun of god or jesus (x10)

[Becquerel]

The hardcore muslims are the ones complaining because their founder is being mocked by "infidels, degenrates, and nonbelievers" and they find that unacceptable

He's not supposed to be treated as an idol in any way, so any visual representation of him is considered offensive.

Don't you have to worship it for it to be an idol.

What if it was just like. An illustration?

"We will kill you for drawing the face of Muhammed!"
"But this is just a drawing of Ali, the carpet merchant."
"Oh ok, carry on"
