Ã…RHUS (Dagbladet.no) I april 2003 sendte tegneren Christoffer Zieler inn flere satiriske tegninger av Jesu oppstandelse til avisen.

Men avisen takket nei, og svarte at tegningene kunne skape negative reaksjoner.

«Jeg tror ikke, at Jyllands-Postens lesre vil more seg over tegningen. Faktisk tror jeg, at den ville utløse et ramaskrik. Derfor vil jeg ikke bruke den,» svarte avisens søndagsredaktør Jens Kaiser i en epost som Dagbladet.no har fått se.

Is the video on that Norwegian page showing events in Istambul or Beirut?

Doesn't seem like Turkey to me (because of the Arabic script).

[Gangerolf]

the video is from beirut, according to the caption it's from the torching of the dansh embassy

OMG this is quite bad

it says that in 2003 Jyllands-Posten received satirical cartoons depicting Jesus, but they refused to print them because they wouldn't want to offend their readers.

I'm not sure how to translate "ramaskrik". "A whole lot of commotion" maybe. Anyway, the editor didn't want that. Kind of ironic

[VetLegion]

Hopefully people now stop saying that Jyllands-Posten wasn't trying to provoke. Yes they did. Not that it justifies all the crap that happened since.

[Az]

If true, that can be interpreted as very bad. And it is hypocritical from Jyllands-Posten.....

.... yet, the point stands.

It shows hypocricy from them, not the attempt to provoke. After all they were published back in september, no?

So you're saying that a newspaper that publishes one set of comics that some people may view as offensive is automatically hypocritical if it does not publish another set of comics that some people may view as offensive regardless of the context/content of the comics? For a philosophy professor you're awfully bad at basic logic.

Who's philo prof?

[VetLegion]

Agathon is the philosophy professor. Az is just your ordinary juggernaut of logic and reason

Your momma is a philosophy professor.

None the less, you are right. It's not automatically hypocritical. Guess I was caught up in the pc wave. Personally, I think it's all VetLegion's fault.

[Pekka]

Yes, seems hypocritical to me and could fuel the fire more.

Still, changes nothing.
