Do You Look Like Muhammad?

Who knew Germans had a sense of humor? Der Spiegel reports that the German satire magazine Titanic is staging a Muhammad look-a-like competition during the Frankfurt Book Fair on October 18. On its website, Titanic writes, "Come along to the most dangerous event of the Frankfurt Book Fair. … It will be a blast"—hopefully not literally. Titanic's staff has invited Turkish President Abdullah Gul to take part, which seems to us like a long shot. The website of the Caricatura Museum, the site of the event, notes, "Of course it is a sin to represent the prophet. For this reason, we are trying to do something exceptional."
