I have a different view on the subject of blasphemy against the Messenger SAW.
I look at it differently. Anyone who speaks derogatory things according to whatever thought process they have does not insult the Messenger SAW.
Why?
If during day time someone says it is night and that sun is useless because it is hot!. Does this saying insults Sun? It does not change the fact that it is day and sun provides light for life to go on.
Muslims should not think saying derogatory remarks about the Messenger or caricatures insult the Messenger. It does not do a thing on the Greatness of the Messenger.
Specifically, after the Battle of Badr, Quraish notable leader Suhail Ben Amr became a POW. Suhail was an unequalled orator and poet and will compose poetry against the Messenger SAW. Umar Ben Khattab RA suggested to that his two front teeth be extracted so he could not speak properly, a very humiliating matter for an Arab as language and its mastery was their pride, but Messenger said, No. "If I will defile his face God will defile my face." This is recorded in many early history books including Ibn Hisham.
So Messenger did not consider that blasphemy against Him warrants execution.
Amr Ben Hisham later accepted Islam and Martyred in the Battle of Yarmouk.
Quran says, "And We have raised your name", in Surah Alam Nashrah.
