A blog has been deleted by its host, wordpress.com, following a complaint from the government of Indonesia. The blog, lapotuak.wordpress.com, featured two explicit Mohammed comic strips, and the Indonesian government threatened to block the entire wordpress.com site if the 'offensive' blog was not deleted. (Infamously, Mohammed caricatures were
published in Denmark in 2005, inspiring more
satirical Mohammed cartoons.)
