Egypt pulls German magazine over Islam portrayal
Egypt: Wednesday, April 02 - 2008 at 11:42
Egypt has confiscated a special edition of the German magazine Der Spiegel about Islam that the government says insults the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, reported Reuters, citing Egypt's state news agency MENA. Among the reasons cited for confiscating the magazine, whose cover bore the headline 'Allah in the West', included paragraphs quoting a 'German orientalist' as saying that Islam called for violence and terrorism, and the characterization of Islam as a Christian sect.
