Morocco Bans French Magazine for Insulting Islam
[AP/Washington Post] Hassan Alaoui - The Moroccan government has banned an issue of the French magazine L'Express International, claiming it insults Islam in articles exploring the relationship between that religion and Christianity. The magazine said the articles were inspired by a meeting in Rome between Christian and Muslim scholars and is intended to "help the dialogue between Islam and Christianity." It said pains had been taken to adhere to Islamic norms, notably by covering the face of Muhammad with a white veil in side-by-side cover portraits of Jesus and Islam's prophet, in line with Islamic law.
