I think it should be allowed to make cartoons about almost everything. People make fun of Jesus everyday too.

Then on the other hand that danish newspaper is on some right wing agenda and did it on purpose just to piss off Muslims. They rejected to print Jesus cartoons. Thats some hippocrite shit.

Danish paper rejected Jesus cartoons

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."

The illustrator said: "I see the cartoons as an innocent joke, of the type that my Christian grandfather would enjoy."

"I showed them to a few pastors and they thought they were funny."

But the Jyllands-Posten editor in question, Mr Kaiser, said 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.

"The illustrator thought his cartoons were funny. I did not think so. It would offend some readers, not much but some."

The decision smacks of "double-standards", said Ahmed Akkari, spokesman for the Danish-based European Committee for Prophet Honouring, the umbrella group that represents 27 Muslim organisations that are campaigning for a full apology from Jyllands-Posten.

"How can Jyllands-Posten distinguish the two cases? Surely they must understand," Mr Akkari added.

Meanwhile, the editor of a Malaysian newspaper resigned over the weekend after printing one of the Muhammad cartoons that have unleashed a storm of protest across the Islamic world.

Malaysia's Sunday Tribune, based in the remote state of Sarawak, on Borneo island, ran one of the Danish cartoons on Saturday. It is unclear which one of the 12 drawings was reprinted.

Printed on page 12 of the paper, the cartoon illustrated an article about the lack of impact of the controversy in Malaysia, a country with a majority Muslim population.

The newspaper apologised and expressed "profound regret over the unauthorised publication", in a front page statement on Sunday.

"Our internal inquiry revealed that the editor on duty, who was responsible for the same publication, had done it all alone by himself without authority in compliance with the prescribed procedures as required for such news," the statement said.

Now if you make fun of religions than not half assed, or your intention is pretty transparent.

true, but they didn't print em again to piss of the muslims I think, they did it to show their rights, that they are allowed to print whatever they want, and the muslims wanted the danish system to say sorry, and now people wanna murder these guys who did the cartoon, - thats crazy

Well that Danish newspaper is known for having very right wing views and a lot of anti-muslim/anti-immigrant/racist readers, so i really think they just did it to stir shit up.

I think a case that is way worse then that is when that Morrocan dude slaughtered the Film director van Gogh in Holland.
He butchered him like a pig.

yup i agree with both statements you stated lol

It's like a KKK rally. We all know what the purpose behind it is, but we also live in a world where those type of people are free to express themselves. I respect the fact that you can draw and print a cartoon that may offend someone even if I don't like the message. That's one of the principles of living in a free country.
