Mubarak warns against continued insults to Prophet Mohammad

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has warned that continuing insults to the Prophet Mohammad will send those critics into a dangerous abyss, while also criticizing the extremists who use these insults to justify their actions. Mubarak's comments come during an address Tuesday broadcast live on state television in honor of the prophet's birthday. The Egyptian president has not said who his remarks were specifically targeting, but they came amid renewed controversy over the reprinting by Western newspapers of a Danish cartoon deemed insulting to the prophet.
