Given the furore raised by the Mullahs about the Muhammad Biral (Cat) joke and the subsequent arrest of the cartoonist by the bangladesh Govt and abject grovelling by the Prothom Alo (leading Bengali newspaper) Management by apologizing in writing and sacking the Magazine sub-editor responsible for publishing the joke!
It is interesting to see that the Mullahs and their student arm themselves published a similar joke a few years ago in one of their publications. the Prothom Alo joke is at the bottom

Teacher: Kalu what is your father's name?
The Boy Kalu: Sadek
Teacher: You impertinent boy! You should say Mohammed before a name.
A few days later
Teacher: Kalu what has your mother cooked at home for dinner today?
Boy: Mohammed Kodu (Pumpkin)

Yesterday's front page of Prothom Alo carried a retraction of a cartoon in yesterday's Alpin, their humor section for impertinently associating the prophet's good name with an animal. It shows a man in a tupi (cap) talking to a boy with a cat in his arms. It goes something like this:
Man: What is your name?
Boy: Babu
Man: You should say Mohammed before a name. What is your father's name?
Boy: Mohammed Abu
Man: What is that in your arms?
Boy: Mohammed Biral (cat)
