(CNN) -- Newspapers across Europe Wednesday reprinted the controversial cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed that sparked worldwide protests two years ago.
The move came one day after Danish authorities arrested three people allegedly plotting a "terror-related assassination" of Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist behind the drawing.
Berlingske Tidende, was one of the newspapers involved in the republication by newspapers in Denmark. It said: "We are doing this to document what is at stake in this case, and to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech that we as a newspaper always will defend," in comments reported by The Associated Press.
Newspapers in Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands also republished the drawing Wednesday as part of their coverage of Tuesday's arrests.
"I could not possibly know for how long I have to live under police protection; I think, however, that the impact of the insane response to my cartoon will last for the rest of my life," he said. "It is sad indeed, but it has become a fact of my life."

Fundie Muslims need to stop overreacting and ruining any chance their moderate counterparts have at assimilating into modern society and learning to live in harmony with Jews and Christians.
ALL religious fundies need to realize that sane, rational adults don't protest cartoons.

Do you want to know the funniest thing about this whole cartoon drama? No where, not once in the Koran does it say you cannot draw mohammad. There are many many islamic drawings of mohammad from years ago. The concept of not drawing him was dremt up by clerics/immams (whatever the fuck they're).

>>687580 Many of the drawings that sparked the protests were not offensive in any way, just plain pictures of the man himself. The drawings that Muslim groups are trying to ban from Wikipedia are not offensive in any way either.
And I think you are missing the point with the "bomb turban" drawing. The message is not that Mohamed was a terrorist, but rather that Muslims have a short fuse, which is illustrated quite literally.

Throughout Islamic art from the 9th century onwards, they're forbidden to draw animals or people because of the First Commandment of Moses. It was considered idolatry. This was what led to what is called "arabesque" ornament; elaborate geometrical shapes that are intricately arranged to resemble organic forms, floral and animal. It was vastly superior to boring Christian iconographic art of the period. I'm not a Muslim, but I think the charicatures of the prophet Mohammed were in bad taste. I don't think anyone should be punished over them, but it signifies a saddening lack of respect for another culture.

Quoted By:
>>687613 On Jyllands-postens website (the newspaper that originally ordered the drawings) it says that message of the drawing was that many Muslims extremists use the prophet as a way to legitimate terror.

Allow me to illustrate the logical fallacy of libfags: Libs: We're going to allow Iranian president whatshisface to speak at our university in the name of free speech. ---- Libs: The BNP(I can't think of a better example at the moment... maybe that anti-radical islam group in america called AmericansAgainstHate or some shit would be a better example?) can't speak at our university! They're facists/racists! ---- The difference between the two is that one advocates the peaceful deportation of non-whites from britain, while the other funds terrorists groups, one of which started a war that set Lebanon back in development by over a decade. Can you guess which is which?

When people talk about "the Jews" they mean Sephardic and Ashkenazi ethnic groups. Ashkenazi Jews are the main type in Europe and America. Ethnic group and "race" are not well defined but they are both similar.

Oh yeah, and thread proves that the west is simply incapable of dealing with the terrorists (YES I SAID TERRORISTS 90% OF MUSLIMS HATE THEIR FUCKING GUTS) so they resort to cowardly attempt! Well listen to this! 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust because they were fucking cowards who can't stand up for themselves, they killed hundreds of my people while hiding behind their superior aerial technology, they wouldn't fucking DARE face us men to men! There I said it! I personally abhor hate speech as well as speaking ill of any group of people in the world, but the west proved to me that this simply wrong, ONE must HATE other people or he would be repressing his freedom! Commence bawwwwwing fucking Jews and Jew-Cock Suckers.
Oh yeah and one more thing. islam was on the verge of death in the 1920s when Arabs overthrew the Turkish Caliphate. I feel I must thank you for replenishing my religion by creating a state which was strategically called "israel" a name that was ever so repeated in the Qur'an which when referring to the BAD people. Islam was reborn and so was religious extremesm.

Oh wait, by you second comment, I'm assuming your a frenchtard go back to being a surrender monkey then, Lebanon only lasted after you drew its border because of the Arab unity between christians and muslims, had it not been that way, Syria would have swallowed lebanon a long time ago. you knew because Balfour didn't promise the Arab Christians any land.
