Danish newspaper says won't print Prophet cartoons

[Lipush]

COPENHAGEN, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, which angered Muslims by publishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad 10 years ago, will not republish Charlie Hebdo's cartoons due to security concerns, the only major Danish newspaper not to do so.

"It shows that violence works," the newspaper stated in its editorial on Friday.

Denmark's other major newspapers have all republished cartoons from the French satirical weekly as part of the coverage of the attack which killed 12 people in Paris on Wednesday.

Many other European newspapers also republished Charlie Hebdo cartoons to protest against the killings.

When Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons by various artists in September 2005, most of which depict the Prophet Mohammad, it sparked a wave of protests across the Muslim world in which at least 50 people died.

While I'm not in favor of purposely rubbing someone's nose in what pisses them off, in this case all newspapers should print the cartoons to make sure and reinforce the idea that the people of the world will not be cowed !!

Islam is winning the war in Scandinavia, as the infidel Danes are in a state of submission, too frighten to confront the enemy.

This is an example of appeasement and submission ...the cowards way out of the situation, which requires confronting the enemy intead of giving into their wishes.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The Dane's of the world will not, err, WILL be cowed !!

Western civilization is sick.

Why publish cartoons which needlessly anger 25% of the worlds population?

It should be labeled a hate crime. ......

Maybe 25% of the worlds population should stop being so sensitive about their own particular brand of magical thinking.

I bet you also think the same about the Arab drawing portrating Jews as snakes. Because you're so enlightened, and all that.

That's your problem.......not mine. ....

 

[Lipush]

Do you care answering the question?

 

[Sunni Man]

The cartoonist were attacking Islam and the Prophet.

I am also against cartoons attacking Judaism and the Torah and it's prophets.

Attacking either should be a hate crime.


Average muslims and jews are not perfect and should be fair games for satire. .....

Look, now, at the descendants of the Vikings...

How the mighty have fallen...

Pity...

Free speech is already limited in America.

It's against the law to falsely yell "fire" in a crowded theater.

Incite a riot by public speaking.

Or to threaten the life of a government official both verbally or by print.

So making derogatory cartoons of Islam or the Prophet should be added to the list of crimes. .....

The terrorists have won.

Once you get past that you can settle down and study your Koran.

Nope.

Freedom OF Religion is also Freedom FROM Religion.

Freedom FROM Religion means that citizens have the freedom to ignore Religion or to ridicule it at their discretion.

We have lived for a very long time with the freedom to ridicule Christianity and Judaism and Buddhism and Hinduism et al.

We will continue to live with such freedoms and those freedoms are already (and will continue to be) extended to Islam

Don't like it?

Leave.

Or live with our laws, as The People, in their wisdom, have crafted them.

No special treatment for Islam - and we will not be using Islam as the trigger to curtail such freedoms.

Grow up - collectively - and deal with it.

It will take years but eventually laws will change and hate speech towards Islam will be criminalized. .....

That will come right after cartoons denigrating Christians is criminalized. And that will not be any time soon, if ever in the US.

Criticism and ridicule are not the same thing as hate speech... all your protestations to the contrary notwithstanding.

Islam will not be allowed to change our laws in its favor.
