“Cruci-Fixin’s”
February 19, 2006
Muslims throughout the world are outraged at a set of cartoons published by a Danish newspaper (and later republished by a Norwegian paper), which depict the “prophet” Muhammad. As a general rule, the Muslim belief states that no images of Muhammad, or any other prophet, should be made. This is to help avoid idolatry.

This outrage has ranged from silent discontent to the firebombing of Scandinavian embassies.
