not surprising, Urban Outfitter ( and most of their patrons ) have a dim view of Christianity, and Jesus.

this ( or something like it ) in their stores for quite some time.

Actually, there's nothing overtly anti-religous that item.

Just because these dolls happen to be sold in putatively secular surroundings, doesn't mean that they're intended as a jab at Christians specifically, or Christianity in general.

In fact, I purchased one of those figures-they also produce a similiar Moses action figure-as a present for my mother, and she seemed to enjoy it.

So far as I know, we aren't Muslims and aren't obligated to follow any sort of proscription against representing Christ in paintings, statuary, sculpture, etc.
