I say no way. If you can't say anything that might upset someone's beliefs, you literally cannot say anything at all. Religious beliefs are arbitrary and all equally stupid and meaningless. The mocking of ideas is all good by me. As usual, I'm talking about a non-intrusive, non harassing, non hate-inciting way. Good satire is just a way to make an argument in a different way. If they don't like it, they can ignore it, debate it or make a complaint. If their only response is violence they are fucking morons and we shouldn't bow down to their demands any more than we should stop talking about apples because I decide they are sacred. I'm very sad to see first Facebook and now this. Apparently England censors pictures of Mohammad too. It's not the way forward! We need to rip the piss out of it until they learn to deal with it like adults.
And kicking "Mohammad" out metaphorically is not at all the same as kicking out muslims. It's an attack on how stupid the whole character is, and people's irrational obsession with not having anyone insult it. If a Muslim cannot differentiate between Muhammad and themselves, then they are insane. It also proves that gods and god's kids are just extensions of people. That's why they take it personally.
If someone's biggest worry in life is that someone, somewhere might be drawing a picture of your imaginary friend and writing something funny on it, you really need to re-evaluate your priorities.
