Westergaard's recent cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed raised widespread anger two years ago. The three arrested include a Dane of Moroccan origin and two Tunisians. The Tunisians are to be deported and the Dane will face terrorism charges. The cartoons were published in Danish newspaper, Morgenavisen Jullands-Posten, in 2005. The reason that the cartoons were so controversial is because of the fact that Muslims believe it to be sacrilegious to publish images of the Prophet Mohammed. Full story here.
