They shouldn't have published pictures like that.
In Islam we're not even allowed to draw pictures of the Prophet peace be upon him.
We dont draw pictures of Jesus or Moses, we respect all the prophets.
We love our prophet peace be upon him.
Thats wonderful and thank you for your comment. Here's a few things you need to get straight.
We love freedom and that includes the freedom of the press and speech. Also, Jesus is God not a prophet. He lives, unlike your mohammad. We don't recognize him as anything sacred or special. We have the freedom to offend many peoples, not just muslims.
