Everybody Draw Muhammad Day

General
I don't think I can be bothered, but it's a very cool day. Not so much a holiday as an unholiday. We're advised not to make derogatory images, but here's a quandary; Muhammad was a paedophile. Now of course, "loli" porn is banned on FA (as it should be), but if I was to depict Muhammad in his 50's and Aisha at the age of 9, and implying that they're married, would that be derogatory, or would it be a historical illustration?
Like I said, I probably won't bother drawing Muhammad, but I'm just curious where we draw the line on "derogatory", as every depiction of him is supposed to be blasphemy.
Thoughts?

As for the drawing of him at all, you're not a muslim, you have no obligation to follow islamic ideas, so as long as you have respect for the subject and those that follow him, then I think that maybe you'll be in the clear. As long as you have a strong basis behind what you draw and can defend if anyone should challenge you.
Like, Muhammad eating a cookie or whatever
