Student Publications & Cartoon Debate
Arab media publish apology from Danish newspaper - Toronto Star
The Islamic Supreme Council of Canada to start their own publication with "civility" - CBC''
(somehow an organization that calls itself 'supreme' is one I don't think I'd feel comfortable sending my views to no matter how 'civil')
Nova Scotia high school student publishes controversial cartoon - CTV
And from the University of Toronto:
The Strand's Response to SAC Press Release of Friday, Feb. 17 - News
To print or not to print? - Editorial
Yes, a cartoon is included in bottom link. It shows 'Jesus' and 'Mohammed' embracing and about to kiss. Now, depending on your culture two men kissing could have a different meaning. In the Middle East - men embrace and kiss each other on the cheeks without reservation. To a Canadian this may have different connotations. In Biblical history embracing and kissing was probably commonplace (I don't know Biblical history enough but I can find out).
I take it as a symbol of the actions of Peace between the two religions - the prophets being the symbols of those religions. I don't see it as funny or any other way although I can appreciate that others might find it suggestive of something else.
