Usually if you are doing those things at this point - you're doing it be edgy and then trying to sell it as a joke to get away from it.
And honestly - I don't really care if you make that joke. But if people get pissed at it - you can't act shocked or offended.

Is there no line? The line is funny or not funny, and you can either laugh or not laugh.
Context is important in any joke, as is knowing your audience. South Park has been a great example of this for the past 25 years. There is no topic off limits, including Islam (well,
until they were threatened with violence because issuing death threats is how rational people react when you make a joke about something).
