Taken from Yahoo news:
-----------------------
Qureshi said the mosque and his religious school would give $25,000 and a car, while a local jewelers' association would give another $1 million. No representative of the association was available to confirm it had made the offer.
"This is a unanimous decision by all imams (prayer leaders) of Islam that whoever insults the prophet deserves to be killed and whoever will take this insulting man to his end, will get this prize," Qureshi said.
Qureshi did not name any cartoonist in his announcement. He did not appear aware that 12 different people had drawn the pictures.
A Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, first printed the prophet pictures by 12 cartoonists in September. The newspaper has since apologized to Muslims for the cartoons, one of them showing Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban with an ignited fuse. Other Western newspapers, mostly in Europe, have reprinted the pictures, asserting their news value and the right to freedom of expression.
---------------------------
I wonder if you have to kill all 12 cartoonist that created the cartoon to get the 1,025,000 and the car....or just kill one.

Sorry but the less my government does in "our name", the better off we seem to be.
Don't forget, that little problem in Iraq that we are currently cleaning up was largely due to the things our government did in our name while Hussein was our lap dog.
