Walid al-Kubaisi, un escriptr musulmà que viu a Noruega, ha fet una crida als mitjans de comunicació occidentals perquè no s'arronsin i reprodueixin les 12 caricatures de Mahoma que va publicar el mes de setembre el diari danès Jyllands-Posten. Ho explica "The Brussels Journal"Mr al-Kubaisi said in a Norwegian newspaper yesterday that although he thought it was madness of Jyllands-Posten and of the Norwegian paper Magazinet, which republished the cartoons last month, to have published them, he would definitely publish them today if he were a newspaper editor. Mr al-Kubaisi explained that Islamists fanatics are currently trying to limit freedom of expression in the West. Consequently editors have an obligation to stand up to them and publish the cartoons.
“The only way to protect freedom of expression is for as many newspapers as possible in Europe to publish the cartoons. The Islamists cannot boycott the whole world. They cannot ask the whole world to apologize,” Mr al-Kubaisi told the Norwegian press yesterday. Asked if this would not make matters worse he said: “On the contrary, it will ease tensions.”
