US cartoonist apologises
WASHINGTON: An American cartoonist whose work inspired the controversial “Everybody Draw Muhammed Page” on Facebook has condemned the effort and issued an apology to Muslims. Molly Norris, of Seattle, drew a cartoon in April to protest the decision by the US television channel Comedy Central to cancel an episode of the popular show “South Park” over its depiction of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). In her cartoon, Norris satirically proposed May 20 as an “Everybody Draw Muhammed Day”. “I apologise to Muslims and ask that this ‘day’ be called off,” the American cartoonist said. afp
