Shihan (newspaper)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shihan (Arabic: شيحان) is a Jordanian weekly newspaper published in Arabic. The word Shihan is also the name for a mountain located in the southern part of Jordan, close to the city of Al-Karak.

In early 2006 they published the drawings of Muhammad originally published by the Jyllands-Posten. The reaction of the Jordanian street to this controversial move resulted in the firing the newspaper's editor, Jihad Al-Momeny.
