Mohammed Cartoon

The French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo just published a set of cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed. Some even had him naked. Needless to say the timing of this isn't great with the fire still raging over the anti Islam video. The editor however said that it “does caricatures of everyone, and above all every week, but when we do it with the Prophet, it’s called provocation,” adding that if Charlie Hebdo stopped printing satirical work because of pressure or fear of offense, it would be reduced to selling 16 blank pages every week. Meanwhile the French government said it planned to temporarily close its embassies and French schools in 20 Muslim countries this Friday to avert any injuries in the event of demonstrations after Muslim prayers.
