Spain: Polemic in Morocco due to Mohammed’s images in a Spanish textbook

The polemic has been caused by two images of Islam's Prophet in the textbook "Mohammed, Islam and the Arab World", published and edited by Spanish firm Anaya. One of them shows Mohammed teaching his disciples, while the other represents the prophet standing next to Kaaba, the sacred stone of Islam.

The polemic arose when parents whose sons and daughters studied at Secondary Education Institute Juan de la Cierva (Tetouan) complained to the authorities about the images.

An spokesman from the Moroccan Education's Minister assured daily newspaper Al Masae they were investigating the facts to take the necessary meassures.

Nora,

I'm hope they ignore them.

Yeah, Damien, I also hope that... Let's see what happens, though. I don't trust this Government is going to defend our interests...
