There's a result, of uncertain reliability (long story, I haven't tracked down the cite), anyway, that roughly 20% of any population is thoroughly authoritarian oriented and tribalistic (usually consevative), but it only takes 10% to control that 20% (not sure if it was 10% absolute or relative; I gotta follow up on the cite). So, yes, particularly in a segment of society that is inclined towards authoritarianism and conformity, that trait allows a minority to control a much larger minority.
Anyway, we need the equivalent of the buttered cat array for Islam. We need an image that on the one hand, massively derides and mocks Mohammed, but on the other hand, another aspect of the image is a humble and awe inspiring paean to the wisdom, benevolence and mercy of Allah. (Or the reverse.)
(Some sort of image based on the vase/faces illusion, so that the Muslim mind continually flips back and forth between seeing Mohammed and then seeing Allah, but can't see both at the same time.)
