Muhammad cartoons stir debate on faith and free expression: Divided reactions
Muslim anger over Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad is expected to rise after French and German newspapers reprinted the caricatures February 1, saying they did so in support of free expression.
France-Soir, a French daily, splashed its own cartoon across its front page, showing Jesus, Jehovah, Buddha and an upset Muhammad sitting on a cloud. “Don’t whine,” Jesus is telling Muhammad, “we’ve all been made fun of here.”
“Yes,” the French newspaper declared in its headline, “one has the right to make fun of God.”
