The line between “hurt feelings” and suicide bombers in the Islamic world is paper thin.

Jerusalem (AFP) – Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Mohammed Hussein condemned as an “insult” a new cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammed published on Wednesday by French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

“This insult has hurt the feelings of nearly two billion Muslims all over the world. The cartoons and other slander damage relations between the followers of the (Abrahamic) faiths,” he said in a statement.

The mufti, who oversees Jerusalem’s Muslim sites including Islam’s third holiest, the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, slammed the “publishing of cartoons ridiculing the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, and the disregard for the feelings of Muslims.”

The first issue of Charlie Hebdo after jihadists killed most of its journalists in Paris on January 7 was sold out within hours across France on Wednesday.
