Religious Hatred: Cartoons
- Question
- Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Triesman on 9 March (WA 172) which indicated that the cartoons were ““considered offensive and distressing by Muslims across the world””, whether the European Union Foreign Ministers at the General Affairs and External Relations Council on 27 February 2006 agreed to investigate the identity and motives of those who circulated the more explicit cartoons of the Prophet.
- Answer
-
At the 27 February General Affairs and External Relations Council meeting, EU Foreign Ministers did not discuss any kind of investigation into the matter. They rightly focused on the importance of developing better dialogue and mutual understanding on the wider issues involved.
