Danish paper rejected Jesus cartoons |
Danish paper rejected Jesus cartoons
http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1703501,00.html?gusrc=rss
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.
Zieler received an email back from the paper's Sunday editor, Jens
Kaiser, which said: "I don't think Jyllands-Posten's readers will enjoy
the drawings. As a matter of fact, I think that they will provoke an
outcry. Therefore, I will not use them."
The illustrator told the Norwegian daily Dagbladet, which saw the
email: "I see the cartoons as an innocent joke, of the type that my
Christian grandfather would enjoy."
"I showed them to a few pastors and they thought they were funny."
He said that he felt Jyllands-Posten rated the feelings of its
Christian readers higher than that of its Muslim readers.
But the Jyllands-Posten editor in question, Mr Kaiser, told
MediaGuardian.co.uk that the case was "ridiculous to bring forward now.
It has nothing to do with the Muhammad cartoons.
"In the Muhammad drawings case, we asked the illustrators to do it. I
did not ask for these cartoons. That's the difference," he said.
"The illustrator thought his cartoons were funny. I did not think so.
It would offend some readers, not much but some."
The decision smacks of "double-standards", said Ahmed Akkari, spokesman
for the Danish-based European Committee for Prophet Honouring, the
umbrella group that represents 27 Muslim organisations that are
campaigning for a full apology from Jyllands-Posten.
"How can Jyllands-Posten distinguish the two cases? Surely they must
understand," Mr Akkari added.
Meanwhile, the editor of a Malaysian newspaper resigned over the
weekend after printing one of the Muhammad cartoons that have unleashed
a storm of protest across the Islamic world.
Malaysia's Sunday Tribune, based in the remote state of Sarawak, on
Borneo island, ran one of the Danish cartoons on Saturday. It is
unclear which one of the 12 drawings was reprinted.
Printed on page 12 of the paper, the cartoon illustrated an article
about the lack of impact of the controversy in Malaysia, a country with
a majority Muslim population.
The newspaper apologised and expressed "profound regret over the
unauthorised publication", in a front page statement on Sunday.
"Our internal inquiry revealed that the editor on duty, who was
responsible for the same publication, had done it all alone by himself
without authority in compliance with the prescribed procedures as
required for such news," the statement said.
The editor, who has not been named, regretted his mistake, apologised
and tendered his resignation, according to the statement.

Maybe the newspaper feared Christians would act like Muslims.

This is more interesting than the story about the Iranian newspaper
publishing Holocaust cartoons. And it *is* genuine hypocrisy, too:
people should be free to make fun of ALL religions. Including ours.
I hereby demand that people start posting pictures to
alt.binaries.slack that make fun of the Church of the SubGenius!

Jesus, just post undoctored photographs of Rev. Stang! That's

what kind of profoundly fucked religion would have him as prophet?

I was bummed when Big Doaddy Roth died. I'd been intending to send him a
letter suggesting "Bubba Yaga," which would be a redneck(ish) Baba Yaga.
Imagine a Ford pickup with a pair of chicken legs (and feet) instead of tires.
I'd even gotten a spare copy of the appropriate issue of Sandman to send him.
So, any Roth-style artists in the house?

Stang's not a prophet -- he's just "Bob's" publicity guy. Remember:
There is no "Bob" but "Bob," and mighty are his profits.
