The new cover of French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo has provoked a strong unease among the Muslim world, despite its conciliatory message.
The Islamic State has described as “extremely stupid” the new issue of the satirical cartoons of Mohammed, after the terrorist attack in which 17 people were killed including the three jihadists: “Charlie Hebdo published cartoons back again concerning the Prophet and this is an extremely stupid act “, said the radius of the organization of the Islamic State.
The cover of the first issue of the magazine after the attack shows a sorry Muhammad and crying holding a poster with the message ‘Je suis Charlie’ (‘I’m Charlie’) under the phrase ‘All Is Forgiven’ (‘It’s all forgiven ‘).
Far from appeasing the spirits, the gala publication has also raised rage in Iran, which he described as “insulting gesture” the new cartoons “because they undermine the feelings of Muslims.”
“We condemn terrorism around the world, but at the same time condemn this insulting gesture weekly” said the spokesman of the Iranian diplomacy, Marzieh Afkham. “The drawing undermines the feelings of Muslims and can repeat the vicious circle of terrorism,” he added.
New wave of anger
“The abuse of freedom of expression, which is currently widespread in the West, is unacceptable and should be avoided,” said the Iranian spokesman.
The moderate president, Hassan Rohani, last week condemned “violence and terrorism”, whether in the Middle East, Europe and America, and considered that the attack on Charlie Hebdo would provoke a wave of Islamophobia.
On Tuesday, an Egyptian official agency said the cover of the publication is a “provocative act unjustifiably for feelings and a half billion Muslims worldwide love and respect the prophet.”
In a statement on its website, Dar el Ifta entity-an Egyptian official responsible for issuing fatwas (religious edicts) – ask those responsible for the weekly refrain from posting new cartoons against Muhammad and warns that disclosure will cause a “new wave of anger “in France and West complicating” coexistence and dialogue among civilizations pursuing Muslims. “
