The Danish editor who commissioned the Muhammad cartoons that triggered deadly protests a decade ago said Monday the failed attack on a Texas cartoon exhibition won't change how "politically correct" Americans feel about the drawings.
"The lines have already been drawn in this debate in the US and I do not think events like these can change anything, because people will read their own opinions into it," Flemming Rose told Jyllands-Posten, where he is currently the foreign editor.
"Those who think you have a right to draw Muhammad if you want, and believe it is an important part of freedom of speech will say: 'There, you can see that freedom of speech is under threat.'"
"The other wing will say that it is an unnecessary provocation," he added.
Jyllands-Posten sparked lethal protests in some Muslim countries after its 2005 publication of 12 cartoons that included a picture of the Islamic prophet wearing a bomb in a turban.
In 2006, the US State Department reacted to the Danish cartoon controversy by saying it supported freedom of expression but that "anti-Muslim images are as unacceptable as anti-Semitic images."
"Americans have a belief that you shouldn't offend people's religious sensitivities," Rose said.
"Piss Christ," a piece of art by U.S. artist Andres Serrano, created in 1987, is a photography representing a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine.
[Here is a liberal hypocrite employed by the US State Department. He did not mention when homosexuals promoted using taxpayer funds an image of Christ immersed in urine. The brutal relentless attacks on the Catholic church by homosexuals for decades are ignored. Attacks by Muslims on Jews and Christians not just words is ignored by these gentle flowers. Ahem!]
