True?
A blogger who calls himself "Rantings of a Sandmonkey" has scanned pages of an Egyptian newspaper from OCTOBER that are reprints of the infamous Mohammed cartoons. Evidently the pictures were prominently featured in this Egyptian paper during Ramadan--and no one paid much attention to them at all....there weren't even expressions of anger or sorrow, much less riots and burnings.
If this is legitimate, I guess it proves that the whole event was orchestrated by Muslim leaders. What a disgrace.
Sandmonkey writes in his blog: Freedom For Egyptians reminded me why the cartoons looked so familiar to me: they were actually printed in the Egyptian Newspaper Al Fagr back in October 2005. I repeat, October 2005, during Ramadan, for all the egyptian muslim population to see, and not a single squeak of outrage was present. Al Fagr isn't a small newspaper either: it has respectable circulation in Egypt, since it's helmed by known Journalist Adel Hamoudah. Looking around in my house I found the copy of the newspaper, so I decided to scan it and present to all of you to see.
