Head of Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem denounces selling of Charlie Hebdo copies in Israel

Sheikh Ikrema Sabri, head of the Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem, denounced Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s order to Yisrael Beytenu party activists to buy thousands of copies of the latest issue of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo which has lately published cartoons offensive to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

Sheikh Sabri told the PIC on Monday this order is challenging and provocative to Muslims’ feelings. “Offending any prophet will certainly offend all of the other prophets whom we respect”, he said.  

Lieberman order came after a letter sent by the Arab MP Masoud Ghanayim in the Israeli Knesset to the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning him of distributing the offensive issue of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo.
