Annan appeals to Muslims to accept apology over cartoons
DUBAI - UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called on Muslims Monday to accept apologies offered over the recent publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in European newspapers.
The appeal came in a speech in Dubai, where he was acknowledging receipt of the Zayed International Prize for Global Leadership on the Environment.
“I can think of no better place than here, in the heart of the Middle East, to add a few words about the anger felt by many Muslims about the recent publication of caricatures which they see as insulting to their religion,” Annan said.
“I understand, and share, their anguish. But it cannot justify violence, least of all attacks on innocent people.
“Once again, I appeal to Muslims to accept the apology that has been offered, and to act as I am sure Almighty God, who is compassionate and merciful, would wish them to do - that is, to act with calm and dignity, to forgive the wrong they have suffered, and to seek peace rather than conflict.”
