Hundreds of Turkish Islamists have attacked a satirical magazine after claiming that it published a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad. Protestors chanted ‘tooth for tooth, blood for blood, revenge, revenge’ outside the office of LeMan, which denied that the image was of Muhammad. The attackers targeted the magazine for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. ‘This caricature is not a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon his name),’ they tweeted. Religious values and the image of the Prophet Muhammad – who is not supposed to be depicted – are highly sacred in Turkish society.
