Danish cartoon controversy redux
The Danes are doing it again.
This time, major Danish newspapers, like Politiken and Berlingske Tidende, are republishing cartoons of Muhammad in order to show their commitment to freedom of speech and as a response to the arrest of three people accused of plotting to murder Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist responsible for the image of Muhammad with a bomb for a turban.
For the story, check out Ori Rubin’s first offering in his three-part series entitled “The HRC on Trial” published on our website two weeks ago.
The Jyllands-Posten, the paper that originally published the cartoons in 2005, reprinted the bomb-for-a-turban cartoon yesterday.
Excerpt from the story:
“We are doing this to document what is at stake in this case, and to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech that we as a newspaper will always defend,” said the Copenhagen-based Berlingske Tidende.
“Tabloid Ekstra Bladet reprinted all 12 drawings.
“At least three European newspapers – in Sweden, the Netherlands and Spain – also reprinted the cartoon as part of their coverage of the Danish arrests.
“Intelligence police arrested two Tunisians and a Danish citizen of Moroccan origin in western Denmark on Tuesday for allegedly plotting to kill Westergaard.”
