Mohammed cartoons a major mistake: Schroeder
2006-02-13
I'd sure like the DVD box set of the 2006 Jeddah Economic Forum; it's shaped up to be a real barn-burner. Sigh.
Former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder Saturday criticized the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed by several European newspapers. In an address to an international audience at the Jeddah Economic Forum, Schroeder called the publication "a major mistake" and "we should return now to a reasonable and acceptable way to respect sanctities and beliefs". He added: "I share with Muslims around the world the anger over the offensive cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, and we should turn to tolerance and respect of cultures and religions." Schroeder was in Saudi Arabia to attend the seventh Jeddah Economic Forum which opened Saturday, attended by 2,700 business people, approximately 50,000 journalists, and way too many bought-and-paid-for Western politicos from 28 countries.
