Abhor. That's the word President McAleese used yesterday in Saudi Arabia in her remarks on the cartoon controversy.
We abhor the publication of those provocative cartoons. They were designed to provoke, they were designed to be rude and they were designed to enflame. They did all of those things," she said.I'm sure she's right the use of violence, but I'm not sure that most Irish people do abhor the publication of those cartoons. I'd like to see a poll on that one.
"But equally I would say that our Muslim community share with the Irish community generally an abhorrance of the use of violence in the expression of anger and hurt," Ms McAleese said.
