BBC: The president of a London university atheist society has resigned over a row about an image of the Prophet Muhammad.
The society at University College London (UCL) published an image on its Facebook page showing "Jesus and Mo" having a drink at a bar.
The atheist group was asked by the UCL union to remove it, but refused and started a petition defending its freedom of expression.
A student Muslim group began a counter-petition asking for its removal.
UCL's Atheist, Secularist and Humanist society said its president Robbie Yellon was stepping down to be replaced by former vice president Michael Thor.
"Robbie stepped aside because he signed up as president to organise events and run a student society," said Michael Paynter, secretary for the National Federation of Atheist, Humanist and Secular Student Societies.
"He did not appreciate the stress he would be under when dealing with a controversy like this, so he wanted to make way for someone else." » | Catrin Nye and Athar Ahmad, BBC Asian Network | Thursday, January 19, 2012
