The Patriarchate of Georgia has said in a statement that the publication of cartoons that offend the feelings of Muslims is unacceptable.
"Just as lynching and terrorism have no justification, no matter the motives, it is also inadmissible and subject to condemnation any kind of insult of Muslim or any other religion’s sacred religious values," the statement of the Georgian Patriarchate says.
"The consequences of such actions could turn out to be disastrous not only for a country, but for the entire region and the world," the document says.
"The state is obliged to protect limits on freedom of expression in order to defend other internationally-recognized human rights. We also note that the Christian tradition has always entailed peaceful and good-neighborly relations with communities of other cultures and religions," Georgia-News cited the statement.
