MINA, 12 January 2006 — The Muslim World League yesterday expressed its resentment over the cartoons published by a Norwegian magazine offensive to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
“The cartoons published in the magazine’s Tuesday issue are offensive to the Prophet and they deliberately chose Eid day to launch a sinister campaign,” WML Secretary-General Dr. Abdullah Al-Turki said in a statement.
He warned of the negative consequences that might follow.
“This will not affect international relations but give rise to hatred in the Muslim world for such countries,” he said and reminded the consequences that followed when a Danish newspaper published 12 offending cartoons some years ago.
“Such incidents anger over 1.5 billion Muslims who want to live in peace and harmony the world over,” he said and urged cultural and social institutions across Europe to halt the hate campaign against Islam forthwith.
