You must be really blind if that's the best you can do. Mohammed is their prophet, their deity is sacred to the three Abrahamic religions. Slander is not the same as legitimate criticism, although both can fall under the banner of "free speech".

Yeah because something as benign as drawing a picture of a man and labeling it "mohammed" is most certainly deserving of the reasonable, level-headed muslim reaction of screaming that the artist should be beheaded. If you want to kill someone for drawing something, you are the problem, not them.

Sure. There are plenty of historical images of Mohammed, the problem you describe is more recent. It might be an extreme interpretation of the prohibition against images as idols, I don't know for sure.

You can't slander a dead person.

Yeah, but you could still prosecute for fraud if you could show that the lie led to a specific injury. At common law, law looks to the intent, i.e. a malicious lie is treated more severely than a falsehood that was simply due to negligence.
