The Euro-dhimmis must have been wetting their pants....
Syria's top Sunni Muslim cleric urged the media Tuesday to use caution when reporting on religion, saying that the choice and timing of a report can cause a war.
"A simple piece of information can spark a war. If a man dies because of information that you have made public, his death will be on your conscience," Shiekh Ahmed Badreddin Hassun told reporters at the European Parliament.
His remarks came in response to questions about the 2005 crisis when satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed first published in Denmark caused an uproar in the Muslim world, resulting in protests and several deaths.
The Grand Mufti expressed regret over what he said was the "instrumentalisation of this dossier, which arose from a simple, isolated case."
"Some television stations chose Friday, one hour before prayers" to broadcast the story, he said, adding that "there are media who want to create a conflict" between the West and the Muslim world. (yeah, yours -ed.)

"Some television stations chose Friday, one hour before prayers" to broadcast the story, he said, adding that "there are media who want to create a conflict" between the West and the Muslim world"
Is he saying that Muslims feel the most combative just before the Friday evening prayer?

The EU cracks down on anti-jihadists about as hard as Asswad cracks down on opponents in this cleric's beloved Syria-what's he worried about? Hell, the EU at times seems to out-Koran even the Koranists when it comes to dhimmitude.
