More about:

A furore over Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed in 2005 sparked the idea of a counter-offensive by cartoonists around the world.

The international video journalist and cartoonists platform, VJ Movement, asked cartoonists in Islamic and other countries how they saw the increasing criticism of Islam in Europe.

The call produced thirty satirical drawings, most of them featuring Dutch rightwing anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders. Six are shown in the slide-show below.

According to spokesman Tjeerd Rooyaards of The Hague-based VJ Movement, "Mr Wilders' face is well-suited to being caricatured". Next month, VJ movement will launch a separate platform, Cartoon Movement.
