Comedy is a form of art. A true art comes from the artist's heart and should never be a product of bias, prejudices, or a calculated agenda. This form of art should be used in such a way that the living movers and shakers of the society are gently or roughly nudged when they track-off from their societal-expectation or election-campaign promises. The Prophet Mohammad is not a living being anymore. What is the good of targeting the Prophet when he cannot change himself since he has been dead for a while now. Some Danish newspapers got in trouble not too long ago for depicting Muhammad with some unflattery graphics. For the common muslims depicting the Prophet itself is a taboo, and so I was told by a professor who was born a muslim. Besides, we all know that the muslim extremist cum terrorists are like wild animals.
Even in terms of Gaai Jaatra festival in Nepal, I remember Maha Jodi and Santosh Pant making fun of the Parliamentary ministers, movie directors, actors and actresses. If the satires are really based on facts and sincere, there is a considerable probability those targets would change themselves for the better.
Regarding the people who are already dead, they have stopped sinning the day they last exhaled. With virtually no risk of reciprocation or offering-up a good defence, some losers might pop out of nowhere to satirically attack a dead person's reputation without real grounds. And that is not funny.
