I'm really confused about the "No one can have my picture but almost every single one of my male believers is going to carry my name" situation.
Religions are kind of weird, aren't they?
Always has been. Religion is the single biggest reason to not believe in religion.

I wonder if the anonymous nature of memes could "shield" authors making images of Mohammad? How would you track them down? Would be even more difficult on federated instances/ActivityPub.
That’s actually a fair point but then loser butthurt extremists will probably just attack random targets (like they already have many times) because someone’s gotta pay for the offense caused.

There once was a post on the Onion about a caricature of Christian, Judaist, Hindu and Buddhist gods having an orgy and no believers wishing death upon the author, but sighing and closing the tab instead.
There was one with mohammed included too in a french satirical paper, but it was sometimes in the -70 or -80. Much cooler times.
...didn't that French newspaper then much later end up getting shot up?
I think it's the same but I'm not sure. The shooting was like 40 years later though so not relevant to the mohammed orgy images.
It was shot up by people who were mad that the journal was regularly doing drawings like that.

I need explainxkcd.com, but for memes.
Je suis Charlie.
KnowYourMeme.com is the closest i could think of. Maybe combined with urbandictionary.com
There have been several violent incidents in reaction to published depictions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, which is strictly forbidden by some interpretations of the Sahih al-Bukhari, one of the major Sunni Islamic texts.
I'm assuming that's what's being alluded to here.
Oh, yes I do remember that incident, but I never would have connected it with Yoda etc. Thanks.
But like, that's stupid they don't expect us to eat halal why do they expect us not to depict their prophet?
Because Religion = Logic - Religion
Basically they managed to convince a lot of people that drawing Mohammad is hate speech, while obviously such depictions do exist (especially those that also conflate having an Arabic decent with Islamism), it's just certain fundamentalists won the free marketplace of ideas through bullying and terrorism.
Despite all the legitimate critiques, it was a mistake to succumb, now Christian fundamentalists are trying the same, see the overreaction to the Olympics.

It's not every muslim. Only the bigoted/loudest ones. Just like not every christian intimidates you to accept Jesus as your savior.
Mohamed. For reference search it+ South Park
Is it Jimmy Saville?
No, it's Rolf Harris.
I was sure it's Steve Jobs
Really? Besides Muhammad, name 1 other well known person who showing a benign picture of him causes a real risk of getting killed by his fans?
How DARE you speak that name with even the slightest link to derision! I mean, erm, Jar Jar Binks.
Noooooo you forgot the (PBUH) when you mentioned Muhammad (PBUH), now I will have to kill you :( look what you made me do
Don't worry, i was actually taking about Muhammad Ali
You shall be spared this time Mashallah
