He said that there are two pornographic cartoons regarding Prophet Muhammad in the website namely depicting Muhammad and Zainab (woman).
"This has really hurt the feelings of Muslims. Police should take stern action against the cartoon drawer and the website owner. Don`t wait until Muslims take the law into their own hands," he warned, adding that this case threatens religious harmony in the country.

"The regulation we have now concerned freedom of expression, and electronic transactions and criminal code, ban on dissemination of business or SARA (tribe, religion, race and inter group)-related conflicts.
