Because it offends Islam. Period.

So basically the whole non-Hindu world should also stop eating beef in order to not insult Hinduism?
Will Christians get angry if a Muslim drew Jesus as a terrorist or not???
The problem is that Muslims won't do that, because Jesus is one of our prophets.
That's irrelevant.
If someone drew me as a terrorist I would raise an eyebrow. The issue has nothing to do with context or what Muslims do or don't do to Christianity.
No one is answering the question; why can't non-Muslims draw Muhammad since it's a rule that is exclusive to Muslim faith?

It's not a rule (for non-Muslims). It's a matter of principle, integrity, and respect.

Because it's bad manner. Nobody's stopping you, but the majority of society will look down on you if not for violating their basic beliefs, then for being extremely bad mannered. You may not care if someone else steps on your beliefs, but most arrogant atheists fail to be able to view it in their shoes completely and completely fail to analyze it properly. Some people are sensitive to this as it offends them the same way as if you pick on an Arab because he's Arab (you pretty much step all over his identity and spit on him while he's on the ground)...it's just plain wrong.
If it's one thing to say to all Atheists, you guys seriously need to manner up.
