Am I the only person who thinks the parallel between Mohammed and the Holocaust is just fine? Regardless of the "exactly what each is" difference, both of them are, essentially, important entities the mockery of which makes people really upset. If you want to piss off Muslims, can't do much better than mocking Mohammed. If you want to piss of Jews, it's hard to do better than mocking the Holocaust.
The fact that one is a historical event and the other is an ancient religious leader doesn't make much of a difference when you take the relative fundamentalism/secularism of the cultures into account.
