That was a caricature of Mohammad, and I'm struggling to see what the racial indicators are apart from him being brown and wearing a turban, which would both simply have been accurate.

I'm a white guy, and can't as such pretend like I'm any sort of authority or even very good at picking up on subtle racism, but I honestly do not see racism in caricatures of Generic Religion Members published in Charlie Hebdo. Muslims aren't portrayed as sinister-looking or bad as a matter of course. Muslims terrorists certainly are, but Muslim non-terrorists are depicted all the time. The way Charb, for instance, drew a generic Muslim was pretty much the same way he drew a generic white guy, just with tan skin and a turban (or not-a-turban if that's the wrong name, but that cloth headdress thing). Given that pretty much all French Muslims belong to cultures and ethnic groups that fall within the former Ottoman Empire, these seem like pretty tame and understandable, if not downright useful, markers. Always drawing a Muslim with a turban and as an essentially olive-skinned Caucasian could conceivably be considered more racist where I am, in Australia, where the vast majority of Muslims are Indonesian, Indian, or East African.

Hey, no.
I have not seen a person wearing a turban unless they are an imam.
Pretty much no one wears a Turban in the Arab world unless they are an Imam.

Citation: I'm Algerian.

It's not just the big noses, it's the caricature that's been associated time and time again with terrorists and radicals used to represent a generic Arab or even a generic Muslim. Never mind the majority aren't even Arab.

Especially that ratty beard and dirty unkempt look.

Is there a name for that butt-hat that Mohammed is wearing when they put him on the cover?

I haven't seen anything like it. Specifically butt shaped, mind.
Probably just a stylized turban.

Bit of a correction: Some wear sorta-turbans. It's the Keffiyeh but wrapped around the head instead of secured with a agaal.
But it looks nothing like the popular caricature at all though.

Though that makes little sense and translates to 'Daoud's Goal'.
Funny thing about Arabic is that it also uses the word for goal as both the sports term and the regular term.

Thing is, non-governmental organizations like the Simon Wiesenthal Center agree with the statement that Latuff is extremely anti-semitic. And I think a Jewish organization might have a pretty good perspective on whether somebody is an antisemite.

Pretty sure turbans have a long association with Islam as well, it's not just a Sikh thing. Think of the Ayatollah for instance.
