This was posted as a response elsewhere on my blog and thought it deserved wider attention.
Er, why is anyone surprised? Didn't you read the Koran?
There's a verse in the Koran that states the following:
'The Prophet is closer
To the Believers than
Their own selves.
And his wives are
Their mothers.'
(Sura 33, Verse 6.)
From a young age, many (perhaps most) Muslims are indoctrinated in a personality cult surrounding the bandit-murderer. It's not surprising therefore, given such a miseducation, that they react so fiercely to any criticism of him.
Indeed, it is quite an irony that whilst Islam condemns idolatry, it makes an idol of Mohammed, of the Koran, of the Kaaba, of Mecca, etc.. etc...
By the way, not everyone on the left is pro-Islam; check out the following for example:

We need to eliminate the disease, (Islam) not the patients. Every Muslim (even Mohammed) is the descendant of a non-Muslim who was converted (by force or fraud or in the case of Mohammed, self-delusion) into the cult.
We need to help them get out of their madness - and being non-Muslims, we are ideally poised to do so. After all, it is the healthy who cure the sick.
Finally, we should not forget that the first victims of Islam are the Muslims themselves. Instead of blaming the victim, let's aim at eradicating the vice.
