BBC NEWS | Europe | Anger grows over Muhammad cartoon

BBC NEWS | Europe | Anger grows over Muhammad cartoon: "The caricatures from Denmark's Jyllands-Posten paper included drawings of Muhammad wearing a headdress shaped like a bomb, while another shows him saying that paradise was running short of virgins for suicide bombers.

The offices of Jyllands-Posten had to be evacuated on Tuesday because of a bomb threat.

The paper had apologised a day earlier for causing offence to Muslims, although it maintained it was legal under Danish law to print them.

Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen welcomed the paper's apology, but has rejected calls to punish the paper, saying the government cannot censor the press. "

Again freedom of speech vs being sensitive. But I think I can understand why muslims feel this way.
