That's really odd, because I've been told here at SS (many times) that Islam is no different than any other religion in terms of violence, repression, etc. So there must be the same number of protests, death threats, actual deaths, etc that we'd see in any country where the % of Muslims is the same as the Utah % of Mormons.

In fact, this is an excellent test case. Apparently ~60% of Utah residents are Mormons. The % is similar for Brunei, Chad, Lebanon, Malaysia. Slightly lower than Sudan.

So we can compare how large public "attacks" on Islam go over in some of those countries. My suggestion would be to start by having some of the usual apologists for Islam on the boards to head to, say Lebanon, then act as street performers making fun of Muhammad as street entertainers (in the appropriate language so they get the jokes). They should be perfectly safe.
