PROPHET'S FACE BLURRED IN FRENCH TEXTBOOK
Tocqueville Connection PARIS, (AFP) - A French publisher said Thursday it had blurred the face of the Prophet Mohammed in painting reproduced in a history textbook after teachers warned it could spark protests by Muslim students.
The publisher Belin defended its decision to blur the image in a letter to several teachers who wrote to it to contest the move.
"After presenting our new schoolbook to your fellow history and geography teachers in a number of schools, several told us that such a presentation of the Prophet Mohammed would today be perceived as provocative..." the letter said.
Belin denied it had been "under pressure to blur the image" but said the teachers had warned of "the difficulty of teaching calmly in very heterogeneous classes," in a clear reference to Muslim students.
