Thank you, that’s what I thought too. This cartoon is meant to be sympathetic to Islam.
“The front cover has already drawn mixed reactions from Muslims in France and overseas.
Egypt’s state-sponsored Islamic authority, Dar al-Ifta, quickly denounced it as “an unjustified provocation against the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims”.
I view it as reflecting the very human need for pardon and reconciliation, and especially so given the account of the cartoonist who drew it.
A deity is knocking on our doors and it is not Allah. This is a quintessentially Christian move.
“Overhead is the phrase “Tout est Pardonne” (All is Forgiven), which French media interpreted as meaning Muhammad is forgiving the cartoonists for lampooning him.”
