Flemming Rose: “Why I published those cartoons”
Flemming Rose has a piece in today’s Washington Post. An excerpt:
In January, Jyllands-Posten ran three full pages of interviews and photos of moderate Muslims saying no to being represented by the imams. They insist that their faith is compatible with a modern secular democracy. A network of moderate Muslims committed to the constitution has been established, and the anti-immigration People’s Party called on its members to differentiate between radical and moderate Muslims, i.e. between Muslims propagating sharia law and Muslims accepting the rule of secular law. The Muslim face of Denmark has changed, and it is becoming clear that this is not a debate between "them" and "us," but between those committed to democracy in Denmark and those who are not.
You gotta love this man.

I am glad he had the courage to push this issue into the spotlight. You can see the cartoons on my website, along with a game I created using the turban and the bomb cartoon. The address is http://www.obber.com.
