If you read the tweets that got Saudi writer, Hamzah Kashqari, in trouble you will find that they in fact represent a familiar theology. Theologically, speaking, Kashqari was speaking from the background of Wahhabi doctrine, although the hypocrites of the House of Saud reacted so strongly. In Wahhabi doctrine, the personhood and humanness of Muhammad is stressed because Wahhabiyyah expresses a paranoid fear of polytheistic deviations by believers. For that reason, Saudi government been destroying the dwelling places of Muhammad in Medina. Kashqari was not necessarily insulting the prophet as he was denying any divine element in the prophet--which is not inconsistent with Wahhaby theology. So why punish the poor writer, and leave the House of Saud which imposes Wahhabiyyah on the kingdom? And the Wahhabi cleric were consistently opposed to the celebration of the birthday of the Prophet.
