Danish Paper Rejected Jesus Cartoons Options Rating (OP)
Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that first published the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad that have caused a storm of protest throughout the Islamic world, refused to run drawings lampooning Jesus Christ, it has emerged today.
The Danish daily turned down the cartoons of Christ three years ago, on the grounds that they could be offensive to readers and were not funny.
In April 2003, Danish illustrator Christoffer Zieler submitted a series of unsolicited cartoons dealing with the resurrection of Christ to Jyllands-Posten.
Zieler received an email back from the paper's Sunday editor, Jens Kaiser, which said: "I don't think Jyllands-Posten's readers will enjoy the drawings. As a matter of fact, I think that they will provoke an outcry. Therefore, I will not use them."...
...But the Jyllands-Posten editor in question, Mr Kaiser, told MediaGuardian.co.uk that the case was "ridiculous to bring forward now. It has nothing to do with the Muhammad cartoons.
"In the Muhammad drawings case, we asked the illustrators to do it. I did not ask for these cartoons. That's the difference," he said.
(29:2-3) Do men think they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and they will not be tested? For sure we will test them as we have tested those who came before them, to show (them) the truthful of the honest and the liars in their falsehood."
why not just tolerate it?yes even the doulbe standards?didn't the prophet pbuh tolerate it?
Your right Brother, But i suppose in my case i would say that IF you dont speak out and im not talking about violence! If you remain silent the Media and people have a tendancy to SILENT you! My meaning is that if we DONT speak up now about these Cartoons it could get worse! as in more pictures more insults and if you speak THEN, your point wont have the same effect! Muslims should also EXERCISE thier freedom of speech!
I agree that some of the Demonstrations have GONE too far BUT im proud that all the Muslims aound the world WHO were effected by this did come out and show thier feelings and opinions!
