Embarrassed to say...
This made me belt out a good ol' fashioned chuckle...
"In Pakistan, the cleric Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi said the mosque and the religious school he leads would give a $25,000 reward and a car for killing the cartoonist who drew the caricatures — considered blasphemous by many Muslims. He said a local jewelers' association would also give $1 million, but no representative of the association was available to confirm the offer."
(no you sick-o, I didn't laugh at that part... it was this next part that got me)
"Qureshi did not name any cartoonist and he did not appear aware that 12 different people had drawn the pictures."
Top-notch leadership I tell ya...

Actually three of the cartoons "appeared" as extras, drawn to incite furor evidently by Moslems. They never appeared in news publications anywhere.
