FRENCH PAPER WILL PUBLISH COMIC BOOK LIFE OF MUHAMMAD

Woah

Apprising Ministries wonders how followers of Islam, “the religion of peace,” are going to react to this:

A French weekly known for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to the ire of conservative Muslims said Sunday it plans to release a comic book biography of Islam’s founder that will be researched and educational.

Satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo has on several occasions depicted Islam’s prophet in an effort to defend free speech and defy the anger of Muslims who believe depicting Muhammad is sacrilegious.

“It is a biography authorised by Islam since it was edited by Muslims,” said Charlie Hebdo’s publisher and the comic’s illustrator, who goes by the name Charb. “I don’t think higher Muslim minds could find anything inappropriate,” Charb said.

The biography will be published Wednesday and was put together by a Franco-Tunisian researcher known only as Zineb, Charb said. (source)
