The “University of Religions and denominations” released a statement in condemnation of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for its publication of a blasphemous cartoon of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

A part of the statement reads: “although it respects human rights and Freedom of Speech, URD declares that none of the values and teachings of Islam could be disrespected or ridiculed under any title or condition.

In the statement the “University of Religions and denominations” also urges not only Muslim scholars but all of the scholars and followers of religions to put their powers together to stop such insulting movements in the world.

In addition to the statement hundreds of students of the “University of Religions and denominations” gathered in the campus of the university to protest against French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for its publication of a blasphemous cartoon of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

On Tuesday, angry demonstrators gathered in the campus of the “University of Religions and denominations”, holding banners that read “I Love Muhammad” and “We Are with You, Oh Prophet”.

Demanding respect for their religion, the protesters called on the Muslim states all around the world to take a position regarding the publication of the cartoon.

A wave of protests has spread since the magazine once again printed a cartoon of the Prophet, only days after a January 7 attack on its offices in Paris, which left 12 people, including its editor, dead.

Charlie Hebdo has a history of insulting Islamic sanctities, repeatedly provoking Muslim anger by publishing sacrilegious cartoons of Prophet Muhammad.
