A French magazine has published cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad. The cartoons follow widespread outrage that may have started in response to an anti-Islam film.

The New York Times reports:

The illustrations, some of which depicted Muhammad naked, hit newsstands across the country on Wednesday and were met with swift rebuke from the government of François Hollande, which had earlier urged the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, not to publish the cartoons, particularly in the current tense environment.
