Cartoon reactions to the prophet's drawings






Above are some political cartoons on the continuing storm arising for the drawing of offensive Propeht Muhammad's cartoons.

These drawings come just after a Pakistani cleric offered rewards on Friday amounting to more than $1 million for killing one of the Danish cartoonists, who are under police protection.

This reward prompted immediate rebuke from Denmark and Norway who condemned as it as an incitement to murder.

"It's murder and murder is also forbidden by the Koran," Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller told a news conference with his colleague Jonas Gahr Stoere from Norway, which has been dragged into the row after a paper there published the cartoons.

"Islam is also a religion of peace, mercy and forgiveness. That is why it is my opinion, but also the opinion of many Muslims, this is un-Islamic," said the Danish minister.
