[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]If OP's question is basically asking why the Paris attackers conducted the massacre at CH, there are several different issues.
1. Graven images (pictures of Mohammed). The Quran doesn't say a single word about this. It does speak to not worshiping idols/statues. But it doesn't say "you can't draw a portrait, sympathetic or unsympathetic, of Mohammed."
2. Blasphemy. You can look at this as Muslims who speak ill of their own god or prophet, which gets into debates about apostasy and appropriate punishments for it, that are irrelevant for OP's question. Another common interpretation of blasphemy is when non-believers mock your faith, in which case you need to look at ...
3. Non-believers who "oppress" Muslims or simply don't share the faith. This oppression could take the form of outright violence against Muslims, or ISIS or the Paris assassins might interpret it as disrespect. These are the quotes above.

[B]Muslima gives blasphemy perspective (although it's worth pointing out that Mohammed was hardly a social outcast: in his own community he was a very wealthy man and a leader)[/b]. If you want to understand the motives of the Paris attackers, they are taking the broader perspectives at (3) towards non-believers who oppress Muslims.

That part is not accurate. The prophet (saw) came from a Noble lineage, he was a leader, and a statesman but live a humble life. Him and his family went days when they didn't even have food on the table,  they would share one single date. He did marry Khadijah, a wealthy woman and I guess you can say he became rich then  , but all that money was spent to the cause of Islam.  There was a Muslim boycott by the pagans in Mecca who refused to do business with them and trade with them. The Muslims lost everything and lots of them died of hunger, even Khadija r.a died during that period.  The Meccans offered the Prophet (peace be upon him) wealth and fame in return for him to stop preaching Islam but he refused.

?Aisha (ra)  said: “Verily, we, the family of Muhammad saw, would go an entire month without lighting a fire. It was only dates and water.”

Masruq (ra) said: “I visited ?Aisha and she requested some food for me. Then she said, ‘I do not get full from food except that I want to cry and then I cry.’ I said, ‘Why?’ She said, ‘I remember how the Prophet (saw) was when he left this life. I swear by God that he never had his fill of bread and meat together twice in one day.’”

Anas (ra) said: “One time the Prophet saw was brought dates and I saw him eating them while leaning on something because of the severity of his hunger.”

Ibn ?Abbas (ra) said: “The Prophet (saw) and his family would go to sleep while hungry for several nights because they could not find anything to eat for dinner. And most of their bread was from barley.”

Amr Ibn Al-Harith, a brother in law of the prophet (pbuh), says that when the prophet died, he did not leave a cent, a slave man or woman, or any property except his white mule, his weapons and a piece of land which he had dedicated for the good of the community (Bukhari, Sahih Bukhari)

Umar ibn Al Khattab (the second caliph after Abu Bakr) states that: I visited Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he was lying on a mat. I sat down and he drew up his lower garment over him and he had nothing (else) over him, and that the mat had left its marks on his sides. I looked with my eyes in the storeroom of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). I found only a handful of barley equal to one sa' and an equal quantity of the leaves of Mimosa Flava placed in the nook of the cell, and a semi-tanned leather bag hanging (in one side), and I was moved to tears (on seeing this extremely austere living of the Holy Prophet), and he said: Ibn Khattab, what wakes you weep? I said: Apostle of Allah, why should I not shed tears? This mat has left its marks on your sides and I do not see in your storeroom (except these few things) that I have seen; Caesar and Chosroes are leading their lives in plenty whereas you are Allah's Messenger. His chosen one, and that is your store! He said: Ibn Khattab, aren't you satisfied that for us (there should be the prosperity) of the Hereafter, and for them (there should be the prosperity of) this world? I said: Yes. (Bukhari)

So here we observe that the Prophet (peace be upon him) definitely did not live in a palace nor slept on luxurious beds.
