Swedish Cartoon Rage Rising

We're starting to see protests in Pakistan over Sweden's recent entry into the world of controversial cartooning. It could only be a matter of time before we see our old friend again.

Supporters of the Islamic Shabab-e-Milli youth group burn an effigy of the Swedish prime minister in Karachi August 31, 2007. About 20 members of a Pakistani Islamic youth group protested on Friday over a sketch of the Prophet Mohammad published in a Swedish newspaper, witnesses said. REUTERS/Athar Hussain (PAKISTAN)
