A Jewish extremist, Tatiana Suskin, 26, faces up to 26 years in prison after her conviction in Jerusalem for pasting posters depicting the prophet Muhammad as a pig on doors of Arab shops in Hebron. The posters triggered clashes in the West Bank and outrage throughout the Muslim world, including street protests in Bangladesh and Iran and rulings by Muslim clerics that insulting the prophet should be punishable by death. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for today.
