(ANSAmed) - TEL AVIV, FEBRUARY 27 - Israel's largest circulation daily, Yediot Ahronot, has apologized for having published last week the controversial Danish caricature showing the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban about to explode. The picture was part of a report from Denmark. But, at the same time, some dozens of Arab readers wrote to the newspaper that they felt offended by the publication and threatened to cancel their subscriptions. "Yediot Ahronot respects the Muslims and their faith," editor Shilo De-Ber wrote to Arab representatives in Israel. "The editorial staff regrets and apologizes to those who have felt hurt by the publication". The spreading of Prophet Muhammad's caricature in Denmark triggered protests among the Palestinians, in the Gaza Strip in particular. Hamas also hardened its tone sentencing to six months of imprisonment and a fine a Palestinian cartoonist and his editor for having published in daily al-Ayam an ironic cartoon about its leader Ismail Haniyeh. Today, in Ramallah (West Bank) a demonstration in support of al-Ayam will take place. (ANSAmed).
