A history of attack on newspapers the published controversial cartoons

The French satirical weekly attacked Wednesday has mocked Islam in past, along with other religions. The controversial depiction of the Islamic Prophet has often had violent backlash.
 
In 2011, the same organisation – Charlie Hebdo -- was targeted for its satire edition that listed the Prophet Mohammed as editor-in-chief and featured cartoons. Its office was firebombed and website hacked in retaliation.
 
In 2006, Swedish artist Lars Vilks made a series of drawings depicting Prophet Mohammad in a controversial light. While initially art galleries refused to publish it, one of the drawings was printed in a Swedish paper. In 2010, plotters of Stockholm bombings, in which one person died, cited the drawings as one of the reasons for their attacks
 
In 2005, Danish paper Jyllands-Posten drew the ire of Islamists when it published controversial caricatures of Prophet Mohammed. Five years later, police arrested several suspects who planned to attack the paper’s office.
