Dear Sir,

This office is enquiring a complaint wherein cartoon articles on alhaa and islamic religious personalities for eg. Mohammed and wife aisha are created and posted. They are making insulting remarks against muslim prophet and other personalities of muslim communities. You are requested to delete/remove block below mentioned suspected and malicious link and articles on your websites....

Well its not a fatwa, but I guess it will have to do. Congratulations Musing minds, You've earned your banned in India thingy!

Congratulations!
