"Bangladesh authorities ban cartoon insulting Islam, arrest cartoonist," from The Associated Press

DHAKA, Bangladesh: Bangladeshi authorities Tuesday arrested a cartoonist after drawings that Muslims said insulted their religion were published in a national newspaper, police and the government said.

A Home Ministry statement said Arifur Rahman's sketches — titled "Name" — that came out Monday in a weekly supplement of the Prothom Alo — "hurt the religious sentiments of the people."

Police detectives picked up Rahman from his house in the capital, Dhaka, after the home ministry ordered his arrest, Janey Alam, a police officer at Tejgaon police station said.

Rahman was yet to be formally charged, Alam said, adding that he was arrested under a stringent law that allows detention without any specific charges.

Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority nation, has no specific blasphemy laws. But offenders can be prosecuted for hurting religious or public sentiments....

Islamic leaders also demanded the Bangali daily Prothom Alo be shut down for printing the "highly objectionable" cartoons and that its editor and published be arrested.

"This is a grievous offense, this is dangerous," said Obaidul Huq, head cleric of the National Baitul Mukarram Mosque.

Bangladesh has in the past banned publications for insulting Islam or Prophet Muhammad.

**So now we have had the original Mo toons, then the Mo Doggie crisis from Sweden an now the Mohammed cat crisis. Where will it end? When will the moslems stop gettin so oversensitive over pictures of Mo.

Here is my very own version of Mohammed cat.

Getting back to the Modoggie crisis amongst the over sensitive moslems, there is a Modoggie Free Speech Flag and art project at Gates of Vienna

Good God, do all Muslims have a sense of humour removal at birth?

What a pathetic waste of energy by the police.

I wonder whether they'd be as quick rounding up the cartoonist if the joke was about Christians or Jews? I think not!

I am a firm believer in mocking religion in all its forms, the angrier they get the more amused I get.

Long may moslems get irate over bad drawn cartoons.
