  "The Muhammad Drawings are twelve editorial cartoons of the Islamic prophet Muhammad printed in the Danish daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten on September 30, 2005 (and later in the Norwegian Christian newspaper Magazinet), including one suggesting he had a bomb in his turban. The drawings were satirical illustrations accompanying an article on self-censorship and freedom of speech. They were meant to highlight the allegation that no artist was willing to illustrate a children's book about Muhammad by the Danish writer Kåre Bluitgen without remaining anonymous, out of fear of revenge from extremist Muslims because depicting Muhammad is prohibited in Islam.

  While the newspaper maintains that the drawings were an exercise in free speech, many Muslims in Denmark and further afield viewed them as a provocation. Two newspaper cartoonists were reportedly driven into hiding after death threats were issued against them and the paper revised and heightened its security procedures. [1] [2] [3] The foreign ministries of eleven Islamic countries demanded action from the Danish government, and some eventually closed their embassies in Denmark in protest after the government refused to censure the newspaper or apologise. A large and successful consumer boycott was organized in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. International Islamic organizations have demanded United Nations sanctions against Denmark."
