No. I saw the cartons and didn't see anything offensive about them. But then, I
am not a religious person. I have seen depictions of the prophet before, so I
find it hard to believe that there is an absolute ban on them, unlike depictions
of Allah. I have seen much more offensive cartoons about Christianity. The only
one that I thought would be remotely offensive was the one with the bomb in the
turban. How appropriate that they would respond with violent protests, arson and
looting. I guess their religion doesn't deal with the concept of irony.
