People will straight-up kill you for drawing Muhammad, this guy is probably going to die. The civil authorities deciding that it's a crime is also fucked up, but it's almost not really relevant to the danger he's in. Even in the US or Europe it can get you killed. Comedy Central still has an ongoing feud with the South Park creators where they constantly try to put Muhammad in the show, and it only ever works when they've snuck him in without it being obvious who he is.

I have a memory of him appearing in "the Muhammad episode" somehow, with Jesus and other religious figures getting covered in literal shit and all kinds of egregious obscene disrespect to them, and then Muhammad walking onscreen and saying "Hello" to the viewer and then leaving, just to make the point. I suspect that my memory is lying and he was only ever broadcast as a big black "censored" bar in that one though.
Bottom line, it's a big deal.
(Also, for some weird reason, my spell check doesn't know that snuck is a word.
