COPENHAGEN: Caricatures of Muhammad (PBUH) published in a Danish paper, which have already caused uproar in Muslim communities in Denmark and abroad, will be on the agenda at an Islamic summit in Mecca next month, said an Egyptian diplomat on Friday. âWe have been informed by our foreign minister that this caricature affair will be on the agenda at a special summit of the Islamic Conference,â said Mohab Nasr Mostafa Mahdy, the embassyâs deputy ambassador.
"We got nuttin' better to do with our time..." | âThis is a collective initiative taken by the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and Egypt played a leading role,â he said. Images of the prophet are considered blasphemous under Islam.
But not under any other religion... | On Wednesday, Egyptâs ambassador in Beirut, Hussein Darrar, said he and Lebanese Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh had discussed which measures to take against Denmark following the Jyllands-Posten paperâs publication of 12 Muhammad cartoons in September. âWe have asked the Danish government to take measures, but have not received a response to our request.
What part of "free press" don't you understand? | "As a result, we have decided not to continue talks with Denmark on the issue of human rights and discrimination and other measures concerning Denmarkâsâ agenda within international bodies, Darrar told reporters.
They're making the assumption they're in charge by virtue of being Moose limbs. |
