Indonesia pushes for halt to Prophet drawing contest

Jakarta, NU Online Following the publication by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten of Prophet Muhammad cartoons that sparked protests in the Muslim world in September 2005, another group, Everybody Draw Mohammed Day, is now holding a drawing contest depicting the face of the prophet of Islam. ’Everybody Draw Mohammed Day’ is a Facebook group owned by an American which has announced that it will hold a drawing contest depicting the face of the prophet Muhammad, an act which is seen as an insult to Islam. Depicting the prophet’s face is strictly forbidden in Islam. This Facebook group may trigger protests among Muslims, just like what already happened to the prophet caricatures last year.
