The images were taken from this Wikipedia article which tells you more about the fuss.

I have put these cartoons on here to give people a view of the original images, and as demonstration of our right of free speech.  There are certain freedoms in the UK and Europe that are being eroded, and by putting these images on here I hope to help keep our liberties.  

I am a leftish-centrish member of the public, and am not doing this for any anti-Islamic purpose, only as a move to support the right of free speech.  I would like to see everybody who is in favour of free speech to publish these Mohammedan cartoons, regardless of their views on religion.
