Egypt slams Prophet Mohammad cartoon in Sweden

I bloggen Gates of Vienna berättas nu att Egypten ha stämt in i klagokören:

"CAIRO, Sept 2 (NNN-KUNA) — Egypt’s Ministry of Awqaf (religious endowments) Saturday condemned as “irresponsible and offensive” the publication of a caricature of Islam’s Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) by a Swedish newspaper recently.

“Such an irresponsible act is not conducive to friendly ties between the Islamic world and the west,” the ministry said in a statement here.

The statement urged Swedish authorities, “known for their moderate attitudes towards Muslims, to adopt measures” against Örebro-based Nerikes Allehanda newspaper which published the offending cartoons, and apology for the act.

“Diplomatic contacts can help settle the heated controversy,” it pointed out."
