The "Jesus-Muhammad Shock" issue of L'Express International examines the relationship between Christianity and Islam, and the magazine says that it tried to be sensitive to Muslim thoughts and feelings.
L'Express International had even altered the front cover image for the version on sale in Morocco to depict Muhammad with his face covered, whereas the French edition has him with his face uncovered.
The French magazine claims on its website that the article was printed in time for a meeting this week in Rome between Christian and Muslim scholars.
One of L'Express International’s editors, Christian Makarian, said he did not understand what they had done wrong or why the ban had been imposed.
