Danish newspaper to print Charlie Hebdo cartoons on Islam
COPENHAGEN
(Reuters) - The Danish newspaper Berlingske has republished cartoons on Islamic themes from the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, as part of its coverage of the attack which killed 12 people in Paris on Wednesday.
The Thursday print edition of Berlingske, available online on Wednesday night, showed several past front pages from the French magazine. Among them was one depicting the Prophet Mohammad and another about sharia law.
Such images provoked angry reactions from some Muslims when originally published by Charlie Hebdo, and footage of the Wednesday killings at the magazine's offices showed gunmen shouting "we have avenged the Prophet Mohammad".
Berlingske's Editor in Chief Lisbeth Knudsen said her newspaper's action in republishing the cartoons was not a protest.
"We will print them as documentation of what kind of a magazine it was that has been hit by this terrible event," Knudsen told news agency BNB.
The managing editor of Corriere della Sera, Italy's leading newspaper, said in a video editorial on Wednesday that his daily would also republish Charlie Hebdo's cartoons.
When another Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, in 2005 published 12 cartoons by various artists, most of which depicted the Prophet Mohammad, it sparked a wave of protests across the Muslim world in which at least 50 died.
The media group JP/Politikens Hus, which controls Jyllands-Posten, stepped up security after the attack in Paris on Wednesday.

Voltaire had sais, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." I cannot be over agreeable. I deeply think that we have to respect everyone. Although we don' t like what they have said. In my pinion, there are too many radical Muslims who always take aa little think for a big one. The most important is to embrace other people and respect them. As a resault, there won' t be so many terrorist attacks in the world.
回覆刪除The attack in Paris is terrible. It is said that at least twelve people are killed in the attack. Muslims are angry and attack the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for avenging for the Prophet Mohammad. In their opinion, their god should not be drawn by the magazine for taunt. However, their attack to the Charlie has caused a problem of freedom speech. To uphold the speech freedom, many people begin to join the protest and pay attention to the Paris police's next stop.
回覆刪除The Paris have the absolute freedom of speech.It is their advantage but also their disadvantage.Because people there will think they could talk whatever they want ,at the same time they might insult others but they don't know.So the murder crisis like the Charlie Hebdo may happen. Even this miserable tragedy shocked many people ,I think the Paris should still remain their freedom of speech because it is their most precious culture.
