A jordanian writer was detained by police in August for posting an image "offensive to islam" on Facebook. Muslim countries often have strict blasphemy laws in place that prohibit insulting the religion of that country. Of the many examples of blasphemy, this one only happened last month. The history of islam would dictate no mercy for those that insult their Prophet Mohammed. 

The Jordanian Penal Code prohibits anyone from blaspheming Islam, demeaning Islam or Muslim feelings, or insulting Prophet Mohammed.
