Iran calls new caricature by French weekly as 'provocative'

Iran Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned the publication of a new caricature of the Prophet Mohammad by the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo as "provocative."
The cover page of Wednesday's special edition of weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo shows the image of Prophet Mohammad holding the sign saying "I am Charlie ... (and) All are forgiven."

"We condemn the terrorist acts which have no affinity with Islamic teachings. We also condemn any provocative moves" against the sanctities of the Muslims, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mazieh Afkham told reporters in her weekly press conference.

"The new (cartoon) publication of the weekly (Charlie Hebdo) is insulting and will provoke the sentiments of the Muslim world," Mazieh added.

Iran has already condemned the deadly attack on the magazine's staff last week by the Muslim extremists. Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the attack which it called a revenge on the magazine for its earlier publication of the caricatures of Prophet Mohammad.

  1. Per Assad l'Europa è responsabile di quanto successo in Francia ...

    Il presidente siriano Bashar Assad ha rilevato che la colpa di quello che sta accadendo in Siria e di quanto è successo a Parigi, dove i terroristi hanno trucidato i giornalisti di Charlie Hebdo, ricade in gran parte sull’Europa, e i politici europei ne devono rispondere.

    Assad ha espresso le sue condoglianze alle famiglie delle vittime degli attacchi di Parigi. “Nel contempo tuttavia vogliamo ricordare a molti cittadini occidentali che di queste conseguenze ne stiamo parlando sin dall’inizio della crisi in Siria. Avevamo detto all’Occidente che non si può sostenere il terrorismo e dargli la copertura politica, perché tutto ciò avrebbe avuto conseguenza per i vostri paesi e i vostri cittadini. Non hanno voluto darci retta.” –ha detto Assad.
