Danish cartoonist hoping to sell Muhammad drawing

By Martin Stabe wirepost

Kurt Westergaard, the Danish cartoonist at whose drawing for Jyllands-Posten, showing the Prophet Muhammad wearing a turban shaped like a bomb led to riots two years ago, wants to sell the controversial drawing.

The small cartoon is currently locked in a bank vault, but auction houses are hesitant to get involved in a sale, the Sunday Times reported.

Danish newspapers recently reprinted the cartoons after Westergaard received death threats.
