Mary Beth - Physical depictions of Mohammad in Islam are blasphemy. Physical depictions of Jesus are not; otherwise, we would have much less Renaissance art.
There is also a long history in the United States of using religion in humor. Have you ever noticed how Mel Brooks and Woody Allen (both Jews) gently josh Jews and Judaism?
I found SNL's depiction of Jesus and Tebow to be both funny and respectful. Lighten up. Despite your fervent wish, we are unlikely to become a Christian theocracy.

Mohammed!?! seriously? If that is your point of view go be a muslim.
Memo to Christians: Get over yourselves! You aren't the best faith on earth!

Was deeply offended by the portrayal of the Lord Jesus in the SNL Tebow skit. Wonder if Mohammed would ever be portrayed in like manner?
