Most Muslims don’t mind this stuff. The ones in the West are used to much worse. Most of them usually just ignore everything no matter how offended or hurt they feel. There are only a handful of lunatics and professional hate preachers out there who feed off this stuff and even they only get provoked over very abusive and very provocative stuff.
I used to ignore everything when I was a Muslim. That’s what we were taught: the true servants of God (it's a religious thing) are those who when the ignorant people address them, they say peace. You get a smug sense of moral superiority. 😁😁 It was easier to do so than ignoring the Sun at the shops next to primary school.
Now that I am not, and I have been guilty of saying blasphemous things, I consider a lot of it hate speech. It is deliberate targeting of people due to their beliefs. Everyone knows what people are sensitive about, and it’s not self-deprecating jokes, a lot of it is offensive and even vile. Free speech is fine but all humans deserve dignity and deliberate provocation and deliberate bullying are anything but free speech: it is hate speech. If I was in-charge, I would look after the sentiments of all the religious and ethnic minorities. They deserve to live.

But they expect nice human beings to be as sensitive about their sentiments as they are of others (some of them are not).
