Office of French Satirical Newspaper Burned Down Day After Mocking Islamic Faith 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The office of a French satirical newspaper has been burned down just one
day after the paper published a special Arab Spring edition mocking the
Islamic faith. The cover of the newspaper showed a cartoon of the
prophet Mohammed stating: "100 lashes if you don't die of laughter!"
Mohammed was also listed as a guest editor of the newspaper.
