"It will be hard to rebuild the editorial staff. We have written of the government's corruption. In our last issue we wrote of how Yemen's embassies abroad are so corrupted that it is fair to call it 'exporting corruption'. So when we printed the cartoons, they took their chance and shut us down and destroyed our foundation."

He also talked about the trial:

The prosecutors started the trial against him with a parable: There was once a woman who insulted the prophet Muhammed, saying horrible things. When a man of her city heard of this, he went and killed her. A couple of days later, the prophet Muhammed passed through the city and said: "That was good, that was just." That was how the prosecutors presented their demand for the death penalty for Mohammed al-Asadi.

And he adds:

"In Yemen we are outnumbered and the fanatics have succeded in pressuring us. But this is an international battle in all countries against all fanatics. And there the balance of power is much more equal. It's an international battle for release from the bondages of extremisms and fanatics."

Also we have known about Le Pen, the extreme-right French politician, and what he thinks of the cartoons. Not surprisingly, he says:

In the same text, Le Pen also suggests that the recent international clash about the cartoons, is linked to Teheran: " They need to make a climate suitable for war against Iran, and what's better than a very good international problem and about Islam".

On the other hand, the Czech Foreign Minister Cyril Svoboda, in an interview talks about the cartoons. It's remarcable that he supports Denmark and he believes the EU should demand an apology for the bruned embassies in the Muslim world.

Europe must be aware of its values and must act as a power, that is respected and respectable. I want for Europe to be able to ask any other county on this planet for decency, for an example to follow international rules of conduct. And I don't want "solidarity" to be empty word. It shows it's easy to speak about solidarity but it's difficult to realize it. Therefore I propose creation of a crisis scenario for the realisation of solidarity, including economical solidarity, in case some of member states will be facing boycott. It does not have to play role if it's small or big state, and it's a pity Denmark has been left almost alone.

Lastly, a Kuwaiti newspaper editorial has blamed the Muslims in Western countries of the bad image of Islam:

You, the Muslims of the West, made all of these catastrophic choices out of your own free will. You willfully sought evil and failed to return the West's goodwill with goodwill. What do you expect from the Westerner, when he sees his own citizens killed in the name of religion? Sees hate in the name of religion? Sees terrorism harm him in the name of religion?
