It was bound to happen, sooner or later, somewhere: to revenge for the publication of the Danish cartoons, an Azeri paper, Yeni Haber, has published a cartoon depicting Jesus and Virgin Mary. According to Gazeta.ru, the latter was called a "fallen woman."
Iranian embassy in Azerbaijan has condemned the publication.

Actually, I don't think it's about the West - it's about some Muslims being pretty ignorant about what they as Muslims are expected to hold sacred. Must be very embarrassing for Azerbaijan.
