Madam, - Just as Anka Jamayel (February 25th) objects to Martyn Turner's cartoon of February 21st, depicting Muslims apparently involved in mayhem outside some embassy, so I object to Muslims who engage in actual mayhem outside embassies, killing dozens of people in the process. I commend The Irish Times for its reportage of this.
It is not Mr Turner who is "presenting Arabs and Muslims as an ignorant mob", but the perpetrators themselves. - Yours, etc,

Madam, - I wish to condemn your newspaper for continually publishing cartoons depicting our leader, Bertie Ahern, in a negative light. Ireland hosts a considerably large population of Fianna Fáil members; that you mock their leader is extremely insensitive. - Yours, etc,
