More Cartoon Violence


Hey, and now Bangladesh is getting into the act. Prothom Alo, a Bangladeshi newspaper, has published a cartoon involving a child's conversation with a Mullah and a joke about Mohammed's name. Islam is Bangladesh's state religion, and the country has a large population of hard-line Muslims who have staged massive protests and demanded the execution of the newspaper's editor.
