Yet another outrage
Bad dhimmi! Do not associate Islam with violence! Only Muslims are allowed to do that!
“Egypt seizes German magazine over Islam portrayal,” from Reuters (thanks to all who sent this in):
CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt ordered the confiscation of a special edition of the German magazine Der Spiegel about Islam on Tuesday that the government says insults the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, Egypt’s state news agency MENA said.
Information Minister Anas el-Feki said the decision “comes in the context of defending Islamic values and standing firmly against those who try to insult the prophet, the Islamic faith, and religions generally,” MENA reported.
“We are for freedom of the press, but we cannot permit religions to be insulted,” MENA quoted Feki as saying.
It said that Feki had ordered copies of the March 25 special edition confiscated because it contained “a number of images and phrases insulting the prophet, peace be upon him.”
MENA said that the edition, whose cover it said bore the headline “Allah in the West,” included paragraphs quoting a “German orientalist” as saying that Islam called for violence and terrorism.
Shock horror! Why, no one, but no one, would ever get the idea that Islam has anything to do with violence and terrorism were it not for those pesky Orientalists!
