The failure or splintering of movements built around a charismatic leader is a recurring sociological problem, often studied by psychologists, and referred to as the problem of the [[routinization of charisma]].

== Images of Muhammad ==
In September 2005 a Danish newspaper published twelve cartoons of Muhammad, creating a flashpoint between the freedom of the press and Islamic fascist groups angered by the publication of images of the prophet. Within six months, 139 people died and 823 people were injured by violence attributed to the controversy. The images appeared on the blogs and in smaller independent newspapers, but the U.S. mainstream media refused to publish the images even as they covered the issue extensively.
