Could you post the actual article? My computer is too messed up to click on any links.

(.. it was just another VNN message posting), but further research indicates that Flemming Rose claims he's not 'jewish'. Here's the interesting parts of Christopher Bollyn's recent post.

I contacted Daniel Pipes about his relationship with Mr. Rose and asked him about Rose's connection with the Neo-Con agenda, Zionism, and ethnic background. While Rose has twice told me that he is not Jewish, I still suspect his connection with the Neo-Cons is due to his affinity for Israel and the Zionist agenda. Rose has not answered my questions about his religion or his position on free speech and the Holocaust.

How "Jewish" Zionists Fuel Hostility to Muslims

Flemming Rose, the "cultural editor" of the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten decided to publish 12 provocative and inflammatory cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad - including one in which the Prophet is shown wearing a turban shaped as a bomb with a burning fuse, the International Herald Tribune reported on December 31, 2005.
...
"The cartoons did nothing that transcends the cultural norms of secular Denmark, and this was not a provocation to insult Muslims," Flemming Rose, cultural editor of Jyllands-Posten, Denmark's largest newspaper, said, rather disingenuously.

Rose and the paper have refused to apologize for publishing the drawings.

"But if we talk of freedom of speech, even if it was a provocation, that does not make our right to do it any less legitimate before the law," Rose said in an interview from Miami, where he has fled to escape the publicity after living under police protection in Denmark.

But Rose acknowledges that even his liberalism has its limits. He said he would not publish a cartoon of Israel's Ariel Sharon strangling a Palestinian baby, since that could be construed as "racist." He would, however, publish a cartoon poking fun at Moses or one of Jesus drinking a pint of beer.

Now why would Rose refuse to publish a cartoon depicting Ariel Sharon, a known war-criminal and genocidaire, strangling a Palestinian baby?

Why would such a cartoon, correct and accurate in its depiction, be considered "racist" by Flemming Rose? Sharon has certainly been responsible for the murder of thousands of Palestinians during his time on this planet. He is a well-known war criminal. So, why would an Israeli war criminal be protected by Mr. Rose?

Are we likely to see cartoons in Jyllands-Posten calling into question the force-fed Zionist myth of the Holocaust, which has become the new "Holy Cause" of Europe?

Why should the criminal history of a Zionist leader or outstanding questions about the the Second World War be more protected than the worshipped prophet of one of the world's major religions?

Take a good look at the non-Danish "cultural" czar of Jyllands-Posten and ask yourself.

Why the European Press is Provoking Muslims

Rose traveled to Philadelphia in October 2004 to visit Daniel Pipes, the Neo-Con ideologue who says the only path to Middle East peace will come through a total Israeli military victory. Rose then penned a positive article about Pipes, who compares "militant Islam" with fascism and communism.

In Paris, for example, Arnaud Levy, editor-in-chief of the financially-strapped France-Soir, chose to print all 12 of the offensive cartoons. Asked if there had been coordination between European editors about the simultaneous publication of the cartoons, Levy said, "Absolutely not."

...coordination between European editors...

Right. Jews living in Europe are 'European' just like rats living in a stable are horses.

Dyab Abu Jahjah isn't that radical islamic, he just hates friggin' kikes!!!

'Our' newspapers don't trust Americans to see the cartoons without 'responding' 'inappropriately.' Thanks, jews!

UPDATE: 'Inquirer' One of Few U.S. Papers to Publish 'Muhammad' Cartoon

Published: February 03, 2006 3:50 PM ET updated Saturday -- NEW YORK -- As a collection of controversial cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad circulates online and through some European publications, prompting numerous acts of violence abroad, nearly all U.S. newspapers have chosen not to publish the cartoons.

Although most American papers have covered the issue, with many running Page One stories, most contend the cartoons are too offensive to run, and can be properly reported through descriptions. While some have linked to the images on the Web, others are considering publishing one or more of them next week.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Inquirer, day after complaining that The Associated Press should at least distribute the images and allow members papers to make the call, decided to publish one of the drawings on Saturday.

The cartoon was being published "discreetly" with a note explaining the rationale, said Amanda Bennett, The Inquirer's editor.

"This is the kind of work that newspapers are in business to do," Bennett told the AP. "We're running this in order to give people a perspective of what the controversy's about, not to titillate, and we have done that with a whole wide range of images throughout our history...You run it because there's a news reason to run it," Bennett said. "The controversy does not appear to have died down. It's still a news issue."

But the vast majority of other top editors seemed to disagree, for now.

"They wouldn't meet our standards for what we publish in the paper," said Leonard Downie, Jr., executive editor of The Washington Post, which ran a front-page story on the issue Friday, but has not published the cartoons. "We have standards about language, religious sensitivity, racial sensitivity and general good taste."

Downie, who said the images also had not been placed on the Post Web site, compared the decision to similar choices not to run offensive photos of dead bodies or offensive language. "We described them," he said of such images. "Just like in the case of covering the hurricanes in New Orleans or terrorist attacks in Iraq. We will describe horrific scenes."

At USA Today, deputy foreign editor Jim Michaels offered a similar explanation. "At this point, I'm not sure there would be a point to it," he said about publishing the cartoons. "We have described them, but I am not sure running it would advance the story." Although he acknowledged that the cartoons have news value, he said the offensive nature overshadows that.

"It has been made clear that it is offensive," Michaels said when asked if the paper was afraid of sparking violence or other kinds of backlash. "I don't know if fear is the right word. But we came down on the side that we could serve readers well without a depiction that is offensive."

The Los Angeles Times sent this statement to E&P this afternoon: "Our newsroom and op-ed page editors, independently of each other, determined that the caricatures could be deemed offensive to some readers and the there were effective ways to cover the controversy without running the images themselves."

The cartoons, which include one of the Muslim prophet wearing a turban fashioned into a bomb, have been reprinted in papers in Norway, France, Germany and Jordan after first running in a Danish paper last September. The drawings were published again recently after some Muslims decried them as insulting to their prophet, AP reported, adding that Dutch-language newspapers in Belgium and two Italian "right-wing" papers reprinted the drawings Friday.

Islamic law, according to most clerics' interpretations of the Quran, forbids depictions of Muhammad and other major religious figures -- even positive images.

Tens of thousands of angry Muslims marched through Palestinian cities, burning the Danish flag and calling for vengeance Friday against European countries where the caricatures were published. In Washington, the State Department criticized the drawings, calling them "offensive to the beliefs of Muslims." [Unlike torture of actual Muslims, which doesn't offend Muslim beliefs at all. --L.D.]

Still, most American newspapers are not publishing the cartoons, sticking mostly to the view that they constitute offensive images. "You want to make sure that you are sensitive to the cultural sensitivities," said Mike Days, editor of the Philadelphia Daily News, which may run the images next week, but remains cautious. "I think you want to do it in a way that makes sense. I am not so sure the average American understands what the controversy is about, the use of the images of Muhammad."

Days said the paper might run the cartoons along with comments from experts in Muslim law so that the reasons behind the controversy are clear. It appears the New York Sun is the only American daily to run the images, according to The Washington Times.

Anne Gordon, Philadelpia Inquirer managing editor, criticized the Associated Press for not distributing images of the cartoons to member newspapers. Although Gordon understands the concerns about sensitivity, she said AP should allow each paper to make up its own mind.

"It is not AP's role to withhold information from news cooperative members," Gordon said. "They are a co-op and we believe they overstepped their bounds to independently withhold the cartoon. It is not their decision to make independently."

Kathleen Carroll, AP executive editor, said the news cooperative has long withheld images it deemed offensive, such as photos and video of beheadings. "We have a very longstanding policy of not distributing material that is found to be offensive," she said, adding that the Inquirer was the only newspaper she knew of that had specifically requested the images from AP. "These images have not met that standard."

But Carroll also agreed with some other editors who said the cartoons did not add to the news coverage in a major way. "If people want to find them, they are easily found," she said.

Doug Clifton, editor of The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, agreed that the offensive nature precluded running the cartoons. "It has become a part of great angst and I don't see any reason to run it, you can just describe it," he said of the cartoon images. "I don't see a need to insert ourselves in that fight."

Clifton recalled his time at the Charlotte [N.C.] Observer years ago, when the paper ran an image of a controversial piece of artwork, in which a crucifix was placed in a glass of urine. "You knew you would get an outpouring of anger," he recalled. "If I thought there were very good editorial reasons for running it, we'd run it. But I don't think there are."

But Clifton said his paper will likely place a link to the images from another site when it runs an editorial on the issue Saturday or Sunday. "They will have the option to see it if they choose," he said about the Web readers. "The [print] newspaper reaches a much, much broader audience."

This is some very funny stuff - I think they'd have a chance at the Iranian prize! But maybe the point is to get some new material.

Iranian Paper Plans Holocaust Cartoons
AP - 1 hour, 34 minutes ago
TEHRAN, Iran - A prominent Iranian newspaper said Tuesday it would hold a competition for cartoons on the Holocaust to test whether the West extends the principle of freedom of expression to the Nazi genocide as it did to the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Hamshahri, one of Iran's largest papers, made clear the contest is a reaction to European newspapers' publication of Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, which have led to demonstrations, boycotts and attacks on European embassies across the Islamic world. Several people have been killed.

VNN needs an entry in this contest. If I had any artistic skill whatsoever, I think I could come up with a decent cartoon. Picture American and British troops converging on a "concentration camp", "Arbeit Macht Frei" greeting them on the gates, puzzled Allied soldiers look around at all the living Jews and set up photo-ops for the most ill and emaciated ones. Then they drag the dead ones out of the morgue and put them in a mish-mash of a pile and take more photos, then an officer is looking at a delousing chamber and says: "Hey, we could get photos of this and say it was a "gas chamber" where they gassed Jews to death!" Another one says "Hey, we could install some ovens over here!" Then another jewy-looking photgrapher in an American uniform gathers a few really pitiful looking ones and, while holding a camera says "Now look real pitiful. On the count of three, say 'Holocaust!'" Then a real kikey looking one in an officer's uniform gets a bright idea "We don't even have to limit ourselves to what we find here, lets go get piles of German civilians we killed in our firebombing of residential areas, make sure to throw a baby or two on top and take photos of it, claiming they're dead Jews, slaughtered by the evil Nazis."

That's good. They could even say, "Hey, we need more bodies, let's machine those SS guards."

See ?? The Iranians are showing courage and initiative against the ZOGs. Let's show our courage and initiative by supporting TAA.

Jewish Skulls piled up after the Holocaust. Not really. Buffalos.

Jew publisher Rose:

No mention of the holohoax cartoon contest on CBS News with Bob Shieffer even though they covered the Muslim riots extensively, that is, with what time they had left after they finished with the Coonetta Scott Coon story.

This is a great gambit by the Iranians. This is a real 'now' moment, a big talking point across the world, especially with the deaths in Afghanistan. How about we put our own cartoons on VNN's frontpage? Follow AE's link to the Graphics forum to contribute!

Don't hold your breath. Depicting living things is banned by Islamic law. Hegel tells a story of a Turk who mocked a European for painting a perfect copy of a fish, saying he would have no answer when the fish 'rose up against him' on the Day of Judgment.
But obviously, the Muslims who stick to their law will lose the war of the mind. Perhaps this is the seed of radical Islam's destruction?

This rule only holds true for Orthodox Moslems. The Iranians are Shia Moslems, and I've seen them in Iraq and Iran holding up pictures of past Islamic figures such Imam Ali, a very important figure in the Shia sect of Islam.
