Prophet cartoons draw protests

China Daily | Updated: 2015-01-17 09:03

Qatar warned on Friday that publishing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad would "fuel hatred and anger", as a leading Muslimbody called for peaceful protests against French weekly Charlie Hebdo.

Qatar "condemned the reprinting by French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and other European press of pictures offensive to Prophet Muhammad", the foreign ministry said in a statement.

"Freedom of speech does not mean insulting others, hurting their feelings, and mocking their religious beliefs and idols," said the statement published by the official QNA news agency.
