A secular Egyptian newspaper has launched its own campaign opposing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed published last week in a French Magazine Charlie Hebdo. Al-Watan published 13 cartoons as part of an extra section critical of, what it sees(says), as the West's attitude towards Muslims. Halid Eslawa reports.

A cartoon shows a pair of glasses through which only the burning twin towers can be seen with the caption "The west view of the Islamic World". Another one shows a white man accusing an angry bearded man of being a terrorist until he sees he is from Israel and offers him a flower instead. Both cartoons are part of a special edition of the Egyptian daily newspaper Al-Watan which started the campaign under the slogan "fight cartoons with cartoons".
