Icon9 Publisher of Cartoon Jailed

Aren't we Americans lucky to live in a country where this kind of thing can't happen. Freedom of the press and speech is a wonderful thing. I only feel sorry for those who don't have it!

BELARUS - Belarus on Friday jailed for three years an editor of an independent newspaper who reproduced cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that first appeared in Denmark in 2005 and caused mass demonstrations across the Muslim world.

The 12 cartoons portraying the founder of Islam, including one showing the prophet with a bomb in his turban, outraged Muslims who saw them as blasphemous. More than 50 people died in protests across the world the following year.
