Muslims infuriated by the re-printing of caricatures of Prophet Mohammad by Danish newspapers must protest legally and peacefully, an Islamic leader urged on Saturday.
Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary-general of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), said the re-printing of the cartoons was ‘a blatant act of incitement to hatred’ and offensive to the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims.
However, he urged Muslims living in Denmark to use legal and democratic means to protest their outrage, Saudi daily Arab News reported on Sunday. |
