We read:
"An unknown party posted what many called an anti-Muslim cartoon across Yale's campus Wednesday morning, the third recent instance of anonymous postering on campus. The cartoons on the posters - which were taken down mid-morning by members of the Muslim Students Association - depicted the prophet Muhammad with a sword in one hand and a decapitated head in the other, underneath a speech bubble which included the phrase: "Don't mess with Ahmadinejad's nukes." ...
MSA President Altaf Saadi '08 said she was shocked that the cartoons would be posted on a campus like Yale's and was unhappy that the individuals responsible decided to remain anonymous.... Saadi said the derogatory nature of the cartoon places it in the category of hate speech. "I think discussion about free speech is irrelevant," she said. "This is about something that is blatantly racist and has no place on a campus like Yale."

Apparently, Yale police are investigating.
