I'm in this mood today where I'm very intolerant of stupidity. Please try not to be stupid.

The Farside comic is based on a 300+ year old quote, which "though widely attributed to Muhammed, the prophet of Islam who lived in Arabia in 6th century,
there is no written or oral tradition that traces this phrase back to him."
The quote, being around for more than twice the lifespan of any currently living human is an example of being humble or compromising not being shameful, or whatever.
But it is not, according to the wikiquote page, something that Muslims consider to be part of their religion, and even if it were, it is not something to cause offensive.
Drawing a comic which does
not mock/denigrate Muhammed nor Islam ain't going to cause them to get all angry.
Which bit of this is hard to understand?
