Muslim anger erupted across the Middle East after Friday prayers, as crowds emerged from mosques burning European flags and vowing revenge for ‘blasphemous’ cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad printed in European newspapers.

The Vatican enters the fray:

Cardinal Achillee Silvestrini of the Vatican told the Italian newspaper, Corriere della Sera today that the act of ridiculing religious symbols is an abuse of freedom.

He said the Western world should establish a limit to its claim of freedom as an absolute value. The habit and idea of referring to religious symbols should be fought in Europe as well.

So is lying!

Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai on Friday termed the publication of Muslim Prophet’s cartoon in some European countries as an insult to Islam.

Pakistani President Musharraf strongly condemned the publication of the cartoons. The Pakistan Senate passed a unanimous decree.

Dang! All that good French appeasement down the drain!
