      Arab and Muslim World Reacts to MoHo Cartoons


      The Arab and Muslim world continues to react to the republishing of cartoons of Islam's founder Mohammad, according to translations of local papers provided by MEMRI. 

      "Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir has decided to ban senior Danish officials, boycott Danish goods, and expel Danish organizations from the country," MEMRI reports. "In Pakistan, authorities ordered Internet service providers to deny access to YouTube.com, which is showing the cartoons."

      Dozens of Jordanian papers have also "come out against the Danish attempt to insult the Prophet and have called for boycotting Danish goods," according to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, Al-Quds Al-Arabi.
