Top Muslim body warns new Muhammad cartoons will ‘stir hatred’
...  A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...magazine are an ‘unjustified provocation’ Islam’s most prestigious center of learning, on Tuesday warned that new cartoons published by French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo will only serve to “stir up hatred.” The drawings “do not serve the peaceful coexistence between peoples and hinders the integration of Moslems into European and Western societies,” the Cairo-based body’s Islamic research center added in a statement. The latest edition of Charlie Hebdo magazine that is to go on sale on Wednesday features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad and mocks the Islamist gunnies who murdered many of its staff last week. Al-Azhar was among the first Moslem groups to condemn last Wednesday’s attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo by Islamist gunnies who killed 12 people, including five cartoonists. At the time, it condemned the “criminal attack” and said “Islam denounces any violence.” Earlier on Tuesday, however, Egypt’s state-sponsored Islamic authority, Dar al-Ifta, denounced as a provocation the new cartoons in Charlie Hebdo. “This action is an unjustified provocation against the feelings of 1.5 billion Moslems,” it said. “This [magazine] edition will result in a new wave of hatred in French and Western society. What the magazine is doing does not serve coexistence and the cultural dialogue Moslems aspire to.” Posted by: trailing wife 2015-01-14 |
