Making fun of Jesus is one thing- there is no such thing as a persecuted Western Christian. Making fun of Mohammed is a completely different story; Muslim's are a persecuted minority. Making fun of that persecuted minority perpetuates that persecution, just like making (perhaps legitimate) criticisms of Judaism in 1940s Germany perpetuated the holocaust. So just because someone is part of the religious majority, they are unable to be offended at something? yeah, no. They are. I know people have a certain desire to support the underdog, but whether someone is the underdog or not should not determine exclusively your decision to support them. Influence, maybe, sure. But you sound like that should be the only relevant aspect. And saying that two people in 1940 having a serious and respectful religious debate, with one saying that the idolatry ban is a bit outdated, is perpetuating the holocaust (and therefore, gaining coresponsibility for it) is just stupid, sorry.

Goddammt, guys, I can't afford anymore irony meters. They keep exploding when you post things like that.

The original has nowhere near the same irony value though.
