Kind of goes back to the point I was trying to make. IF...depicting the prophet is a mortal sin, and the existence of the image itself is not acceptable, then punishing someone for continuing to produce images, and trying to destroy the images, is something justified by their belief that the image of the prophet can't exist.
The problem is, if someone truly believes in religion. Then what the holy text says, is their truth. Adhering to modern social/laws doesn't make that much sense, if the afterlife and what your views are, trump that. So the problem is, how do you have a religion where depicting their prophet is a mortal sin? It clashes with free speech, and basic laws such as not murdering someone. So how does that religion reconcile with that?
I know plenty of religious folks do put aside beliefs, to be a citizen in a modern/society. But it's really problematic again, when something in that religion states something is a specific way. And it's not entirely compatible with a modern society. The idea that, they have the right to destroy any image of their prophet. That they HAVE to remove any images (because the existence of these images is a big no no). That alone (even if we ignore the violence, and punishment of the person that continues to make images or talk about things they find blasphemous), doesn't really go hand in hand with a modern society, and clashes big time.
I'm not entirely sure what the solution here is. Or rather, how religions move past this and adapt/evolve.
