Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that first published the cartoons
of the prophet Muhammad that have caused a storm of protest throughout
the Islamic world, refused to run drawings lampooning Jesus Christ, it
has emerged today.
The Danish daily turned down the cartoons of Christ three years ago, on
the grounds that they could be offensive to readers and were not funny.
In April 2003, Danish illustrator Christoffer Zieler submitted a series
of unsolicited cartoons dealing with the resurrection of Christ to
Jyllands-Posten.

So much for free speech versus racism.

Just as they well knew that the Muhammad cartoons would be considered
offensive to some readers. So what?
They printed the Muhammad cartoons to point to the big problem of freedom of
the press versus religious dogma, and to start a public debate about it.
That's what newspapers do.
Also, there are no laws against bias in the Danish media. Anybody can send
in unfunny drawings and yell "bias!" when they're rejected. That doesn't
mean that the paper has to reject all similar drawings or subjects forever.
The editor can chose whatever editorial line he sees fit, and if you don't
like it, don't buy the paper -- that's how things are supposed to work.

Cartoon caricatures were designed to offend
http://www.socialistworker.co.uk/article.php?article_id=3D8274
by Simon Basketter
Much has been made in recent days of the commitment to free speech in
the Danish press.
But Jyllands-Posten, the right wing paper that first published the
racist caricatures of the prophet Mohammed, refused to print a cartoon
of the resurrection of Jesus in 2003. The paper feared that publication
of the cartoon would provoke anger among Christians.
And in 1984 it campaigned against the artist Jens J=F8rgen Thorsen, who
was commissioned by a local art club to paint the wall of a railway
station. The work showed a naked Jesus with an erect penis.

Even if they had published the Jesus cartoons, I don't think you would have
seen any Danish embassies burned down by angry Christians.
Maybe a few angry letters to the editor.
