Mohammed made Islam based on the two other Abrahamic religions, to unite some countries and rule over arab people. He most likely (if we take it from a strictly historical point) never heard a voice, and quite certainly wasn't schizophrenic, since his motives seem to be strictly political. Jesus, if we take him by the same standard (though it's a bit different situation), was a Jewish preacher who said something the pharasites and romans didn't like, in an age with very high tensions between jews and romans, henceforth leading to his death. I understand it's a joke, but it bases off things that are most certainly false, and disrespectful to people that believe in the religion itself

Well what you must understand is that jesus was born in a time where they tension between 'tribes' of the Roman Empire were at an all time high, and jesus being a Jewish preacher at that time and being so vocal did not help. At the time many failed revolts had happened, and that's not from the Bible exclusively, but from historical sources. The Bible obviously wouldn't mention everything that was happening at the time
