Errrrrrrrrrr Muslim Anger is somewhat choosey it appears!

So why has the Muslim world not burned down Malaysian Embassies???

KUCHING: The Sarawak Tribune has apologised to the Muslim community for the publication of the caricatures of Prophet Muhammad.

The newspaper's publisher and editorial committee said they were "very sorry" for any damage or hurt caused to the Muslim community in the reproduction of the cartoons in its Feb 4 edition.

In an apology published on the daily's front page yesterday, they said the daily agreed with its readers that there was no excuse for the publication, and expressed regret over it.

In Putrajaya, Sarawak Tribune managing director Datuk Idris Buang said that as Lester Melanyi, the editor-on-duty for the edition in which the cartoons appeared, had resigned it was not necessary for the chief editor to go, too.

"Only one person made a mistake so the rest who are innocent should not be punished also," he said when responding to Umno Youth's call for the resignation of the newspaper's chief editor and the suspension of the newspaper.

He said that what was most important was for truth and justice to prevail, adding that the newspaper had more than 300 staff.

He was speaking to reporters here yesterday after presenting a written explanation to Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Noh Omar on why action should not be taken against Sarawak Tribune for publishing the caricatures.

In Ipoh, DAP Socialist Youth chief Nga Kor Ming said the publication permit of Sarawak Tribune should not be withdrawn as the editor-on-duty had quit.

In Kuala Lumpur, PAS Youth chief Salahuddin Ayub said after Friday prayers at Masjid Kampung Baru, the party would lead a peaceful march to the Danish embassy to hand over a memorandum protesting against the caricatures.

He distanced himself from the violent protests which had taken place elsewhere saying that it was not the Islamic way.
