Hello.

Here are the famous cartoons of Mohammed that appeared in September
2005 in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten:

"The Jyllands-Posten Danish Cartoons"
http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2006/02/08/the-jyllands-posten-danish-cartoons/

Wikipedia has a scan of what appears to be the original newspaper page
that includes the cartoons:

"stop we ran out of virgins"

I hope this helps.

Here's a direct link to the cartoons on Jyllands-Posten's own site:

Those drawings all look pretty inoffensive

Perhaps we need to re-evaluate things

Yes and no.
Except for the one with the bomb, they are politically rather
inoffensive, but on the basis of Muslims' deep feelings that Mohammed
should not be portrayed  - even sympathetically -  they are an
affront, especially as the newspaper called for the cartoons
well-knowing that this was the case.  A comment elsewhere mentions
that 40 cartoonists were invited to participate.  My respects to those
who did not.
I think it was the same comment that said that after the first
reaction was mild, the paper called Islamic leaders in Denmark for
opinions, virtually forcing them to take a public stand.  (I don't
know if if this is true.)
I could go on with my opinion, but that is not what the question asks.
