MWL seeks apology By a Staff Writer

MAKKAH, 26 December 2002 — The Muslim World League yesterday condemned a media campaign in the United States against Islam, particularly against the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and expressed the strong displeasure of the entire Muslim community at such vilification and insinuations.

League Secretary-General Abdullah Al-Turki was reacting to the publication of a caricature by Doug Marlette in the Tallahassee Democrat, showing an Arab driving a lorry resembling the truck used by the Oklahoma bomber Thomas McVeigh in his attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Building. The cartoon showed the truck carrying a nuclear warhead under the title: "What would Mohammed drive?"

Commenting on the extremely objectionable cartoon, Turki said: "Some enemies of Islam have been trying to tarnish the image of Muhammad (pbuh) just as they publish misleading information about and wrong interpretation of the Holy Qur’an."

Turki demanded that the Tallahassee Democrat apologize to the 1.5 billion Muslims and give an undertaking that it will not publish such disparaging material again.

Expect a fatwa. It's a good thing this wasn't in Nigeria, there'd be another stupid riot.

I expect them to fatwa the cartoon for implying Mohammed is a terrorist. But hey in this case the picture ain't a libel; the Religion Of Peace is anything but peaceful towards dissenting views.

Yeah... and guess the MWL has gone in PC in demanding an apology. I'll be glad to give them one - once they give us an apology for having brought upon us the catastrophe known as 9-11.
