There doesn't seem to be and end in the immediate future to the story of the 12 drawings in Jyllands-Posten. One month ago, the BBC picked up the story, Muslim anger at Danish cartoons (BBC): "The ambassadors of 10 Muslim countries have complained to the Danish prime minister about a major newspaper's cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.".
Later the 10 countries became 11, who sent their ambassadors to a meeting with Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who - rather clumsily - refused to meet them: Danish ambassadors criticize the PM (Danish text - my translation): "22 Danish ex-ambassadors criticize PM Anders Fogh Rasmussen in a debate-contribution in Politiken for not being willing to meet representatives from 11 Muslim countries, who have criticized that Jyllands-Posten has brought 12 drawings of the Prophet Mohammed.
- It would have been more becoming for democratic Denmark, if the PM had obliged the request for a conversation, writes the former top-diplomats."
A Pakistani political party offered a reward of 500.000 rupees to those who kills the 12 artists. Death call for Mohammed cartoonist (Sunday Times): "The report said that a member of Jamaat-e-Islami's youth wing named Shahid Pervez Gilani told a rally in Islamabad on November 14 that "anyone who kills the cartoonists will be given a reward of 500,000 rupees."
Denmark had just given 50.000.000 kroner (USD 8,076,500) to the victims of the earthquake in Pakistan, and the Pakistani returns the favour by offering 500.000 Rupees (USD 8,351) for the killing of 12 Danes.
Today the situation has grown larger, and 51 countries are threatening with a boycott of Danish goods: Denmark threatened with boycott because of drawings (Danish text - my translation): "The Islamic world's organisation, ISESCO, now threatens to urge all of its 51 member to break all economical and political cooperation with Denmark because of the Mohammed-drawings in Jyllands-Posten."
I think it's about time that we take a look at those pictures, which have created so great a stir. I am therefore going to post all 12 of them.

> Iftekhar: "infact he is not only Muslim's profet bt also the Profet of the Christians & the Jews. it's declared in their Holy Books also."
Is that so? In the Bible I have, it says:
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Not even an angel is allowed to preach another gospel - why should Mohammed be?
