The editors of Cambridge University's Clareification magazine renamed it Crucification for a special issue of religious satire, an issue that reproduced some of the infamous Danish cartoons of Mohammad, the founder of Islam. Of course, the issue quickly brought protests, and the university says it has disciplined the guest editor of that issue. More ominously, police have reportedly "questioned under caution" that guest editor as well as the editor of the magazine. Police say they have sent a file to the Crown Prosecution Service for possible legal action.
