Exerpt from JIM REED:
The power of the press: a double-edged sword

CBC News Viewpoint | February 6, 2006

And I quote:

There's an ironic and telling footnote to the "freedom of the press" issue that westerners seem to feel is at the heart of this whole matter. It involves the same Danish paper. It seems that, back in 2003, Danish illustrator Christoffer Zieler submitted cartoons that lampooned Jesus. The paper refused to publish them and here's how the editor explained his decision:

"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" Maybe Shakespeare applies – at least on this point – when he wrote, "there is something rotten in the state of Denmark."

Now THAT'S hypocrisy. Smells like there is a waft of racism in the intents of the newspaper editors. I believe reasonable inquiry should apply to everything in modern society, including religions, however I think there is also a responsibility of individuals to show restraint in how they express their reactions to the questions they pose.
