Re: Clarification on the cartoon please
satire or not, the intent was to offend. The underlying the reason was islamophobia and ignorance. One thing is clear, that the british and the mainstream american media did not publish these pics, as the two are much more culturally aware and have a better understanding of the Islamic beliefs as compared to the european countries that pub. the cartoons. The differences in the racist attititude is blatantly obvious when you visit these particular countries.
Also, out of the 40 journalist, im not sure how many were printed, however, there were three/four of them that caused the major offense. but what i'd like to know is, do you think these same journalist would dare publish anti-jewish cartoons in the guise of free speech? Some how i dont think so cuz the free speech excuse is full of sh1t. Prince harry is prolly still having nightmares for wearing a swastika at a fancy dress party.
