Mustafa Hussein published Caricature, a cartoon magazine with
the help of his cartoonist friend Ahmed Toughan. Together, they worked on many
issues. Working in a hardcore Islamic country like Egypt often caused him
trouble. Recently, in his editorial cartoon in local Akhbar al-Youm, Mustafa
Hussein made satirical comment on Salafi movement amongst Sunni Muslims. Local
volunteers working for Salafi movement openly hacked publications website and threaten
not to publish such comments and cartoons again.
