"We are deeply alarmed at the repercussions of the publication in Denmark several months ago of insulting caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed ..." begins the statement by the UN.

So these caricatures have now officially been declared to be "insulting" rather than merely critical, eh?

Mohammed was a warlord who claimed supernatural support .... is that an insult or a statement of fact?
