DOHA: Qatar Islamic Cultural Centre, popularly known as FANAR, has urged Muslims not to be involved in angry protests over the visit of Flemming Rose, Culture Editor of the Danish daily that had carried cartoons insulting Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), to Qatar, saying that would only make a hero out of Rose.
Meanwhile, a statement issued by the Doha Centre for Media Freedom said Rose, Culture Editor of Jyllands-Posten, was invited to the function by UNESCO, even as text messages were being exchanged among angry residents here yesterday decrying Rose, who attended a World Press Freedom Day function here recently.
“We have to think of some other way to register our protest — some way which does not make this man a hero,” said Abdussalam Al Basuni, media director of FANAR.
“We have made mistakes in the past and made heroes out of people like Salman Rushdie, Tasleema Nasreen, Haider Haider and Aala Hamid,” he told this newspaper yesterday. “We must not repeat these mistakes.”
Asked what kind of protest he had in mind, Al Basuni replied: “I don’t know. I haven’t given much thought to it, but definitely some other way.”
A former Central Municipal Council (CMC) member, Ahmed Al Muftah, reacting sharply to reports of Rose’s presence here, said: “Why host this Media Freedom Centre here? Today, they have invited Rose, tomorrow they may do something more humiliating.”
Rose and Jorgen Ejbol, chairman of the company, JP/Politiken Newspaper Ltd, which owns Jyllands-Posten, came here at the invitation of UNESCO, said the Centre for Media Freedom. JP/Politiken Newspaper Ltd is one of the three sponsors of the UNESCO Press Freedom Prize presented during the function. The prize was awarded posthumously to a Sri Lankan editor
"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
