Turkey's moviePig law is being enforced against staff members of a
satirical magazine for a humorous cartoon depicting Muhammad. Four were
arrested.
 
The magazine says the illustration was of some guy named Muhammad, not
the religious icon, and was about suffering of Muslims during armed
conflict. I'm missing how that's not a message of peace.
 
Arrest warrants were issued for two other editors, currently abroad.
 
      The pro-government Yeni Safak newspaper said the cartoon showed
      "two figures alleged to be Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses --
      with wings and halos -- shaking hands in the sky, while a war
      scene unfolds below with bombs raining down." The independent
      Birgun newspaper said the winged figures hovering in the sky
      were interpreted by some as Prophets Muhammad and Moses.
 
      . . .
 
      President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called the cartoon a "clear
      provocation disguised as humor" and vowed that "those who insult
      the Prophet and other messengers will be held accountable before
      the law."
