Four employees of a satirical magazine in Turkey have been arrested for publishing a cartoon that appears to show the Prophet Muhammad - a sacred religious figure whose depiction is forbidden in Islam.

The cartoon, published in LeMan magazine, was denounced by government officials who said it represented the Prophet Muhammad.

A cartoon of Prophet Muhammad led to violent protests in Turkey’s Istanbul on Monday, with protesters pelting stones and chanting slogans. The incident begs the question: Why do Muslims get offended by such caricatures?
