The cartoon can be viewed here, although there's no English. A translation appears below:
Boy, what is your name?
My name is Babu.
It is customary to add Mohammad before the name. What is your fathers name?
Mohammad Abu.
Whats this in your lap?
Mohammad cat.
- The cartoon was simply intended to satire the culture of the use of Mohammad in Muslim names
