There was a big outcry worldwide especially from the Muslim countries protesting on this act. Issues and debates were raised in the mass media and by many Muslim countries and their leaders, and without exception,Malaysia had joined in this worldwide protest. However,Malaysia had gone a step further in reprimanding the media which had joined in the league to publish the caricatures. Several newspapers were ordered to stop publishing and the editors were summoned to defend their actions.
