History and profile

Shihan is being published weekly by Arab Printers Company.[2][3] The paper has ties with the Muslim Brotherhood group in Jordan.[4]

On 2 February 2006 Shihan published the caricatures of Muhammad originally published by the Jyllands-Posten.[5] The reaction of the Jordanian street to this controversial move resulted in the newspaper's editor, Jihad Al Momeny, being fired.[2][6]
