Samna, published Muhammad (SAW) Cartoon

Mumbai, 28th November, 10

Probably, for the first time in the Indian History of newspapers and media, Samna, Marathi daily and mouth piece of Shiv sena, a Political party on decline, has published a cartoon of prophet Muhammad (SAW), in its Mumbai edition on Sunday.

Samna has published this formidable act in Islam on the Cultural page and quoted a hadith (Teachings of Prophet) whereby Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was directing a beggar to the market and asking him to do business instead of begging.





Most of the people see this blasphemous act as a desperate political stunt to impress upon voters by dividing them on communal ground during coming Mumbai Municipal election, which is one of the wealthiest Municipalities in the world.

M.B.Qasmi, Editor of Crescent, an English Magazine, said, “Muslims don’t believe in any sought of image of prophet, it’s heartening for us. Samna has done it wrongly and they should apologize for this.” He also reminded that Mr.Bal Thackrey himself is a Cartoonists and he must himself have refrain from this blasphemous act.
