The Turkish government is taking action against those it accuses of depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a cartoon in a satirical magazine. Turkey's president called the cartoon a "vile provocation" and promised to hold those responsible for its publication "accountable before the law.

Three cartoonists were arrested in Turkey after publishing a cartoon that shows Moses and Muhammad shaking hands in the sky, with missiles flying beside them. Erdogan: "A disgusting provocation."

On Monday, violent clashes were reported in Turkey with police firing rubber bullets and tear gas to break up an angry mob protesting over the controversial cartoon.
