An American university professor has been fired for publishing Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed on his website, reported Gulf News. The name or location of the university was not named, but the dateline of the article was Manama in Bahrain. 'Many incensed students, mainly from Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, protested vehemently and argued with the professor, and eventually reported him to the president of the university for insulting Islam,' students told the newspaper. The caricatures were published on a personal website used by students to download course notes.
