"ALTHOUGH THE JOURNAL
PUBLISHED CARTOONS OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM!), WHICH UNDOUBTEDLY OFFENDS THE RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS OF MUSLIMS, SUCH ISSUES MUST BE RESOLVED IN A CIVILIZED FASHION, WITHIN THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF EACH SPECIFIC COUNTRY. GOD JUDGES THEM. ISLAM FORBIDS VIOLENCE, MURDERS AND LAWLESSNESS AND, THEREFORE, TODAY’S CRIME HAS BEEN A SHOCK TO THE ENTIRE EUROPEAN MUSLIM COMMUNITY. WE DON’T KNOW WHETHER CRIMINALS WERE MUSLIMS OR NOT, THESE EVENTS ARE CONNECTED WITH CARICATURES OR FOREIGN POLICY OF FRANCE, BUT THIS IS DISAGREEABLE TO US THAT MUSLIMS AND ISLAM ARE BLAMED IN SUCH SITUATIONS. EVEN IF IT TURNS OUT THAT THE CRIMINALS CONSIDER THEMSELVES MUSLIMS, WE - MUSLIMS OF EUROPE -CONDEMN SUCH ACTIONS."
