Bangladeshi Religion of Peace™ activists up in arms over the dreaded Kittie Kat of Blasphemy.
Street clashes have broken out in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, as Islamic activists protested over the publication of an “offensive” cartoon.
Witnesses say that hundreds joined the protest, even though such demonstrations are officially banned under the country’s state of emergency.
Police baton-charged some of the protesters as they tried to break through barricades.
The leading Bangla-language newspaper published the offending cartoons.
Prothom Alo has since apologised for them and said that it has sacked an editor.
And those responsible for sacking the editor have been sacked. And those responsible for sacking those responsible for sacking the editor have been sacked.
The offensive cartoon?
Translation:
* Boy, what is your name?
- My name is Babu.
* It is customary to mention Muhammed before the name.
* What is your father’s name?
- Muhammed Abu
* What’s this in your lap?
- Muhammed cat
Neither offensive, nor hilarious, but I suppose that’s all in the eye of the fanatic.
