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 Quran."
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.

To: xJones
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.
To: 1bigdictator
LOL...this one's a keeper.

Here's your damned apology...(bending over) Be careful doing that. Mohammed might mistake you for a goat and go to town ;)
To: pgkdan
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.
To: Phantom Lord
Great cartoon :)
To: 1bigdictator
Its entirely accurate.
Aftre Islamic orginizations with their direct link to allah restore the thousands killed and rebuild the WTC we will withdraw the cartoon.
