The chief difference seems to be that it’s ok to laugh at the one but not the other. Oh, no one has ever been murdered (as far as I know) for not liking a particular comedy novel.

Laughing on what you don't understand is quite common. For example, ancient scholars -who spoke the truth- were mocked in many occasions.
While comedy is made exactly for the purpose of laughing, religion isn't and billions say that it isn't.

Don't think so?
See Scientology.
Your particular work of fiction is no different.
While you use the term "trick"; I disagree with you in the case of Islam.

I am not going to trash the OP's topic by replying to your foul language.
Though; go easy on yourself.
Comic writing has purposes beyond making people laugh. It frequently uses humour as a vehicle to examine vital social issues or ultimate existential conundra.
You’ve clearly never been exposed to the classic novel ‘The Snarkout Boys And The Avocado Of Death’ or its equally brilliant companion volume ‘The Snarkout Boys And The Baconburg Horror’. In the two books alone, you will find more meaning, more insight into the human condition than in all the holy books and religious commentary every written.
