A Muslim business-owner in West Watford has condemned provocative posters depicting the Prophet Muhammad, which appeared around the area.
Numan Majeed, who runs an accountancy business based in Queens Road, described the people behind the campaign as "provocateurs" and said the posters "absolutely unacceptable".
The 33-year-old said he and others had been quietly taking the posters down as they did not want to draw attention to them before they were highlighted in a recent political debate.
Police are investigating the posters that were put up around West Watford with "Draw Muhammad Day" written on them and had scrawled drawings of the prophet.
The posters also carried slogans such as "death to those who insult free speech" and appear to be linked to a campaign that started in 2010 relating to censorship of an episode of the US cartoon series South Park.
Mr Majeed said: "The recent provocateurs attempt to Insult the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) in West Watford is absolutely unacceptable.
Mr Majeed added that Muslims in the area had been quietly removing the posters as they did not want make a fuss over them because they were intended to be provocative.
