Four-Year-Old Prophet Muhammad Cartoon Sparks Attempted Murder

In 2005, the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard sparked world-wide outrage with a simple piece of media: the now-infamous political cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb as a turban. A reviled figure in much of the Muslim world, Westergaard was attacked Friday night by a 28-year-old Somali man carrying a knife and ax. This morning, the assailant was charged with two counts of attempted murder on the Danish artist, according to the New York Times.
