Rumoured apology in Saudi Media is false
This post just to inform everyone that the rumour started by Reuters is false. No new apology has been issued in the Saudi Media. Jyllands-Posten does not know who published it.
Their nominal apology (aka "we’re sorry you’re whining crybabies) still stands though.

Yahoo News is still reporting that Jyllands-Posten apologized in the Saudi paper. Why let facts get in the way of hard news. See link to my blog.

Your New Reality blog story on Danish publisher apology.
This was not a rumour or myth. The commissioning editor of Jyllands, Fleming Rose, was shown on Australian television saying the exact words qouted on Your New Reality.
Get YOUR facts straight.

If it was Flemming Rose, the commissioning editor of Jyllands-Posten saying those things on Australian Television why does your post on Your New Reality quote Carsten Juste as saying that?
I have backed up my story with sources, back up yours with sources. And do understand that Carsten Juste!=Flemming Rose. The ads in the Saudi Press were not paid for by Jyllands-Posten, nor was the newspaper informed of them after their publication as my story says, and as I elaborate on here.
