In September 2005 [[Jyllands-Posten]], a [[Danish]] newspaper, published twelve [[cartoon]]s of [[Muhammad]], creating a flashpoint between the freedom of the press and [[Muslim]]s objecting to the publication of the cartoons. Within six months, 139 people died and 823 people were injured by violence attributed to the controversy. Because of the twelve cartoons, [[Danish]], [[Austria]]n, and [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[embassy|embassies]] were burned in [[Syria]] and [[Iran]]. Islamic leaders called for a [[boycott]] of Danish goods,<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5329642.stm</ref> and the cartoonists themselves were forced to go into hiding due to [[death]] threats made by Muslims.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4670370.stm</ref> The images appeared on the [[blog]]s and in smaller independent newspapers, but most of the [[U.S.]] mainstream media refused to publish the images even as they covered the issue extensively.
