"Any physical representation of Mohammed is considered to be blasphemy according to strict Muslim traditions."
Once again, Muslims have gotten upset (indicated by the death threats issued) by South Park's most recent "depiction" of Muhammad. Turns out, it wasn't Muhammad they were depicting after all, but it made me think of something.
If nobody knows what Mohammed looks like because pictures of him are considered blasphemous and thus not drawn, what's to stop Muslims from calling any random image a depiction of Mohammed and calling it blasphemy? If he's never been depicted in an image before, it kinda gives free range for that interpretation doesn't it?
Doesn't this kinda give Muslims free range to be offended at nearly anything?
