According to Cecilia Julin, the Swedish foreign ministry's head of press & info, the Pakistani government's press release contains disinformation. From Nerikes Allehanda :
"Sweden's foreign ministry claims there's several relevant false facts in the press release sent by Pakistan's government after the meeting. For instance, it reads that Lennart Holst is sorry for the publication
"That is incorrect" says the foreign ministry's head of press & info Cecilia Julin
"Our charge d'affaires described the Swedish freedom of speech- & press and that there's no censorship in Sweden. He has never said that the Swedish government shares the [Muslims'] view about the protest, but he said that he was sorry if the puclication had hurt Muslims"
If I remember it correctly; Denmark's prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen also said that he was sorry (the Danish/Swedish term for that is beklaga) that the Muslims had been upset during the last year's Cartoon jihad. But he never agreed with the rioting Muslims.
Say whatever you want about Swedish officials' reactions to this, but they do not agree with the Muslim community on this Mohammed affair (not yet, anyway..)

Every time I try to comment on your crab, I found myself obliged no to do, because as I stated before, it is mere crab, written by people who know nothing and speak of nothing.
But I defied myself this time, while I still hold the belief that are really stirpped of your mind, or simply, a fanatic ignorant. The motto you placed on your blog actually closes any door for a reasonable argument. The war is waged only by you and your likes. It is not us who waged it, and it is not us who annihilated whole ethnic groups. It is not us who killed more than one million Muslims in the Bosnian war. You brag everywhere by your Western values and freedom of exprerssion, just to justify your hatred and grudge against Muslims, clearly indicated in the poor coined phrase Modoggies. What do you know about the prophet Muhammad? What do you know about Islam? You can't draw, say, a preisdent of any state in such a way.Why? Because it will be libel you stupid asshole. And The Prophet Muhammad is more than a preisdent to us, which is something some one like you might not understand. Of all the prophets of God, only our prophet is depicted in such a way by your sick cartoonists, which I will not call artists, because this is not art, this is just libel, nothing more or less.
