Would I offend Muslims if I wrote about a loving Muslim couple?

yes I know it's a silly question but I have to ask. I'm writing a science fiction novella set in the future. One of the characters is a forensics expert who is also a Muslim Jordanian. Would would it be offensive to have a Muslim portrayed as a forensic patholigist. The reason I'm asking is that he performs autopsies.

Update:

I udnerstand that the vast majority of Islamic peoples are peaceful.

I just want to know if it's against Islamic practices for a Muslim to perform an autopsy.

    no i do not think it is against Islamic practices for a Muslim to perform an autopsy as long it is for criminal investigation , to know the reason of the death.

    so please when you write your book let me know because i want to buy a copy.

    but please do not show Muslims as cruel butchers because we are not.

    Pedito and to the ones who say muslim this and muslim that- there is no such thing as muslims, christians or jews humans are humans they can be good and they can be bad. Some muslims are bad but most of us aren't. The worst thing anyone can do is play superior and walk with the nose up in the air and then stumble too.

    An italian comedian is facing up to 5 years in prison for just insulting the pope so it's not just muslims who do idiotic things.

    No it's not against our religious teaching to perform autopsies. I'm glad you understand that we are not all bad. :-)

    Sounds to me like the 'age of feminism' , of women having liberal views and values, of women having any semblance of 'equality' is ending, doesn't that suggest this to you also? Almost sounds like revenge, as if spiritually, men are going to 'get women' for daring to enter 'their' world. Get back in that bedroom, raise those kids, wipe those bottoms, and above all, be quiet, or you may be struck, hurt, and even thrown in the street. And don't think to try to leave, not even THINK it. So, what I see here is increasing darkness, repression. I, though, 'go for it', if I see a Muslim clerk, I pray so I can try to get them to see the little light I carry within me. I might pray others would see the difference between Christ and their god. It is, according to the bible, a war, a battle, so retreat is not an option. Rejection causes a lot of negatives happening, and those people really can excel in negatives. I would like to try to up the ante in positives, in having them see things differently.

    Muslims are offended by everything. That is part of their religious upbringing. When is the last time you saw a happy muslim?
