Jyllands-Posten Double Standard? Or cultural....

Danish paper refused "offensive" Jesus cartoons

 

Reuters - 2 hours, 1 minute ago

COPENHAGEN - The Danish newspaper that first published caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad infuriating Muslims worldwide previously turned down cartoons of Jesus as too offensive, a cartoonist said on Wednesday. Twelve cartoons of the Prophet published last September by Jyllands-Posten newspaper have outraged Muslims, provoking violent protests in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

 

 

Jyllands-Posten is a right-leaning paper with a bias invisible to itself?

It had even been labeled a "reactionary provocateur" before this last episode....

 

So here we have a paper that won't publish offensive cartoons about Jesus, doesn't hesitate to publish offensive cartoons about Muhammed and Muslims in general, yet screams bloody murder about freedom of the press. Very strange.

 

Funny too that initially the editor in charge of printing the cartoons, Flemming Rose, defiantly roared about his decision to print, and now is appearing on Al Jazeera and other stations equivocating about his decision.

 

What I'm starting to sniff out is an ideologue taunting those he dislikes, and hiding behind the law, until the "law break down, dem tings get rough".

Do you think he's had a sincere change of heart or is simply afraid for his life?

On the bias of cartoons published, it depends on the editor's sense of degree of offensiveness.

Maybe, the "christian" cartoons showed jesus performing fellatio on Mohamed while gettin' it from behind by Buddha.

Afraid for his life, apparently. And perhaps a degree of political pressure is being applied...

But I wouldn't discount the possibility of a change of heart at some point....
