"The insult has been established now by everybody, Muslim and non-Muslim, and everybody condemns the cartoonist and condemns the cartoon," [exiled radical cleric Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad] told the BBC's Today programme. "However, in Islam, God said, and the messenger Muhammad said, whoever insults a prophet, he must be punished and executed. This man should be put on trial and if it is proven to be executed."

The cleric added that Muslims in Britain were not allowed to kill people who insulted Islam because it was against the law of the country.
