Absolutely it will, although if anything this sentence will draw more condemnation from the Islamic world over it's leniency .
It shows that they won't take the kind of stuff we routinely put up with over here, like junkies murdering old age pensioners for a £5 note for their next fix.
I remember when the TV show Spitting Image portrayed Christ as a hippy. The churches complained, but did the TV company care about the beliefs they were trampling on - not a bit of it.
Then the Imams went on how they were treating Jesus so terribly, as in Islam he is also considered a prophet, so Spitting image pulled the puppet and it was never used again.
