There's been an outrage over the caricatures of Prophet Muhammad which was featured in the newspaper in some European countries (Denmark, Belgium, France).
The drawings were insulting because they seemed to ridicule Prophet Muhammad. In one of the drawings, Prophet Muhammad was shown wearing a turban shaped as a bomb which most probably were meant to link Islam to terrorism.
(Islamic law, based on clerics’ interpretation of the Quran and the sayings of the prophet, forbids depictions of the Prophet Muhammad and other major religious figures — even positive ones — to prevent idolatry)
Reading thru all the comments given by individuals, heads of countries and organisations, I particularly like the statement by France’s Grand Rabbi Joseph Sitruk who said, "We gain nothing by lowering religions, humiliating them and making caricatures of them. It’s a lack of honesty and respect. Freedom of expression “is not a right without limits.”
