It was not accessible as of Wednesday morning.         Dalil Boubakeur             Rector of the Paris Grand Mosque                Its paper edition features  caricatures which play on both the uproar in the Islamic world over an  amateur video which mocks Islam and the row over the publication in  France of topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge.         A tenet of Islam bans the portrayal of its founder, the Prophet Muhammad.         Some 30 people have died in violent protests which erupted  early last week over the Innocence of Muslims video, which was made in  the United States.BBC</blockquote>
