I seem to be the only one who knows this, so it's time for a little lesson in Islam. It is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to depict the Prophet in ANY WAY, be it cartoon, painting, what have you. To do so is an insult to all of Islam, and has been interpreted as such. I thought this was fairly common knowledge but apperantly it isn't.
To make an analogy, it would be like me pooping on a picture of Jesus on national television. This whole country would go (somewhat justifiably) completely insane. People would be calling for my blood. Exact same thing. The newspaper should have known this and should issue an apology for insulting, deliberately, more than a billion people. End of freaking story.
