Londoners have been demanding charges be brought to bear against those carrying placards inciting violence.

The cartoons are now described as an "Israeli Conspiracy" motivated by western anger over the election of Hamas in Palestine . . . . . although the cartoons were actually first published in September, well before that event.

The protest in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar was the largest to date in that Muslim country against the prophet drawings. There were no reports of violence.

Chief Minister Akram Durrani, the province's top elected official who led the rally, demanded the cartoonists "be punished like a terrorist."

"Islam is a religion of peace. It insists that all other religions and faiths should be respected," he told the crowd. "Nobody has the right to insult Islam and hurt the feelings of Muslims."
