Q15. As you may remember, in January 2015, two brothers who identified themselves as belonging to the Islamic Terrorist group Al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen, broke in to
the office of a French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, and killed 11 people. It was claimed that they did this because the magazine had published cartoons of
the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.
In your opinion, should any publication have the right to publish pictures of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad?
