hehehe, menurut saya sih tidak.
IMHO masih ada bedanya antara 'blasphemy'
dan 'making-fun'. Yang di bawah ini bisa
dikategorikan sbg. making fun:
sebetulnya inti pesan / the moral of the
story-nya adalah mengeritik rumitnya
regulasi & birokrasi pemerintah, tingginya
standar 'civil-society' yang ingin serba
'melindungi' berbagai hal: mulai dari
lingkungan s/d minoritas, sehingga cukup
merepotkan, dengan 'meminjam' kisah Noah,
yang disajikan secara humorik.
***
tahun 2007 kemarin ada film yang mirip
komedi yang mungkin mirip dengan itu:
"Evan the Mighty"
<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413099/plotsummary>
Isu yang di angkat sebetulnya adalah isu
Lingkungan Hidup/Tata Ruang dengan inti
pesan: agar di dalam perencanaan tata-kota
( dalam hal ini Washington ) disediakan
juga ruang taman/park yang cukup untuk
ruang-hidup flora & fauna.
Tapi untuk itu "Tuhan" memberi "ilham"
kepada seorang anggota Konggres - yang
tadinya Agnostik - yang diberinya misi
mirip misinya Noah (menurut versi barat) :
membuat kapal untuk menyelamatkan spesies-2
hewan.
***
Kalau saya perhatikan pada media barat,
tokoh-tokoh Biblical yang biasanya dianggap
"okey" untuk di "karikatur" kan untuk
membawa pesan: pesan kemanusiaan, pesan
pelestarian lingkungan, dll dll - yang
tujuannya bukan penghinaan, adalah tokoh-
tokoh tertentu:
biasanya: Noah & Moses!
( Kebetulan kedua tokoh ini, baik menurut
kisah Bible ataupun Quran digambarkan
punya 'akses komunikasi langsung' dengan
Tuhan/bisa 'bercakap-cakap' langsung secara
'interaktif' )
Tokoh-tokoh Biblical yang lain: Abraham, David,
Solomon, Jesus, di samping tidak digambarkan
punya 'jalur komunikasi interaktif' dengan Tuhan,
juga hampir tidak mungkin menjadikan mereka sbg.
figur karikatur tanpa memberi kesan sebagai
penghinaan/blashpemy.
IMHO, menurut standar barat-pun, it seems to be
unwise untuk menjadikan tokoh-2 Biblical selain
Noah & Moses sebagai tokoh karikatur, apalagi
tokoh Muhammad, nabinya orang Islam.
