A Bangladesh cartoonist has been detained for allegedly insulting Muslims with a reference to the prophet Muhammad. Arifur Rahman's drawing, in a satirical weekly magazine published by the mass-circulation daily Prothom Alo, showed a small boy adding Muhammad to the name of a cat, a joke intended to illustrate cultual custom. Around 3,000 people gathered in Dhaka in protest, and the military-backed government also seized all copies of the magazine. (Via AFP)
