A/HRC/15/53 published a copy of 6 of the 12 controversial caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, which had been first published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in September 2005. 68. In February 2010, five men allegedly set up a page on the online social utility “Facebook” declaring “all Muslims should be thrown out of Wales”. Around 150 people joined the group on the social networking site, claiming they would march through the Rhondda Valleys, United Kingdom, to air their anti-Islamic feelings. The rally did however not take place due to the arrest of the five men by police. 69. On 3 February 2010, the Norwegian Dagbladet newspaper reportedly published a photograph showing a man in front of a computer screen with a depiction of Prophet Muhammad as a pig. The picture accompanied an article which said that users were posting offensive material about Muslims and Jews on the Facebook page of the country’s security police. 70. On 20 February 2010, Christians in the town of Batala, India, took to the streets to protest against the publication of a cartoon from a school textbook that portrayed Jesus raising a can of beer in one hand and holding a cigarette in the other. The parish priest of Gurdaspur, India, allegedly said that the objectionable posters of Jesus hurt Christians, who form 25 per cent of Gurdaspur district’s population. 71. On 20 March 2010, a Bahraini resident with Sri Lankan nationality was arrested in Sri Lanka on allegations that her books “From Darkness to Light” and “Questions and Answers” were insulting to the Buddhist religion. The books were written about her conversion in 1999 from Buddhism to Islam. 72. In April 2010, the Skåne political party posted posters in the city of Malmö, Sweden, which depict the prophet Muhammad naked with a 9-year-old wife by his side and accompanied by the statement “He is 53, she is 9. Is that the kind of marriage we want to see in Skåne?” 73. In the 200th episode of the television show “South Park”, broadcasted in the United States and the United Kingdom in April 2010, the Prophet Muhammad reportedly appeared several times inside a bear suit. Figures from other religions were also depicted, including a drug-snorting Buddha and Jesus watching pornography. The following 201st episode allegedly had any oral references to the Prophet Muhammad bleeped out, with a prominent banner stating “censored” in the programme. The images of the prophet in a bear outfit were substituted with Santa Claus in the same costume. 74. On 22 April 2010, the “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” Facebook page was created by a cartoonist in the United States. The page reportedly encouraged users to post images of the Prophet Muhammad. In reaction, Pakistan blocked Facebook on 19 May 2010, following a ruling by the Lahore High Court. The latter however reversed its ruling on 24 May 2010 after officials of the social networking site issued apologies for a page deemed offensive to Muslims and removed its content. 75. Launched on 23 April 2010, the British National Party’s 2010 general election manifesto demands that “Islamic immigration be halted and reversed as it presents one of the most deadly threats yet to the survival of our nation” and stated that “today Europe faces a renewed Muslim invasion”.
