Looks like the 'Church in Wales is in trouble (
BBC):

The Church in Wales has appealed to 500 subscribers to its magazine to return their copies after it printed a cartoon satirising the Prophet Muhammad.

Will this lead to further mad protests?
After all, this was the cartoon that France Soir used for it's front page when they re-published the Danish cartoons:
Quote:
The drawing - which was from the French magazine France Soir - satirises the Prophet Muhammad by depicting him sitting on a heavenly cloud with Buddha, and Christian and Jewish deities.
He is being told "don't complain...we've all been caricatured here".

As I see it, this cartoon is satirising the reaction to the original cartoons.
Although in other reports the comment is being addressed to 'Muhammad' - it's not as if that's an uncommon name among Muslims. (Similarly the use of Jesus in South America - I have always thought it rather presumptuous to use the name of a 'deity' like that.) The point being, that it only
becomes the 'Prophet Muhammad' if someone chooses to see it as such. i.e. whether the cartoon is a 'depiction' of the Prophet is arguable.
