Right, of course there's going to be problems. There's problems following something that anyone (including Jesus or Superman) says religiously. And is really a problem with humanity overall. But Mohammed's not here, bombing and killing people. People are doing it in his name, or Allah's name or God's name. People with extremist views, that their way is the only way and everyone else should change or be eradicated. Showing the absurdity of Mohammed or Islam doesn't help this issue. Showing the absurdities of the extremism is what's important. Which is why these cartoons should be targeting ISIS and other terrorist groups. Not Islam as a whole.
Not saying you can't do obscene caricatures of him or other religious figures, just that's it's kind of missing the mark.
