KUWAIT: A number of clerics expressed their resentment against a German magazine 'Titanic.' The magazine recently announced their plans of holding a competition to imitate Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) through the Frankfurt International Exhibition. The clerics asked all Muslim states to boycott the exhibition if the magazine plans to go ahead with the competition where competitors playing the role of the prophet. The exhibition opened yesterday.

The former Dean of the Faculty of Jurisprudence Dr Ajeel Al-Nashmi said the action is one in a series of actions that aim at insulting Muslims and their prophet. He said, we as Muslims respect our prophet and all other prophets, and they have to respect ours. But they instead undertake several actions to insult Islam because we did not adopt a serious stand to stop them from committing such acts, reported Al-Watan. He added that if Muslim states and people counter a strict stand such as diplomatic and comm
ercial boycotts, then they will never insult our religion or our prophet.
