[Independent] 5 Nov 2008--The Moroccan government has banned an issue of the French magazine L'Express International, claiming it insults Islam in articles exploring the relationship between that religion and Christianity. Khalid Naciri, the Information Minister, said he had to ban the issue because of the "offensive" articles. The cover carries the headline "The Jesus-Muhammad Shock", which is also the title of a book by Christian Makarian, one of the magazine's editors. The weekly said the series of articles was inspired by a meeting planned this week in Rome between Christian and Muslim scholars and was intended to "help the dialogue between Islam and Christianity". Mr Naciri did not specify what was offensive, but implied the material "could be prejudicial to our religion or undermine public order".
