Danish minister says they should be proud of their Mohammed cartoons
Denmark's immigration minister has defended the Mohammed cartoons first drawn by Jyllands Posten:
A Danish minister responsible for immigration and integration has shared a screenshot of the background of her iPad which is an image of one of the famous Mohammad cartoons that sparked uproar in the Muslim world over a decade ago.Absolutely. And even here in Israel, we shouldn't be reluctant to do the same, and shouldn't approve of any laws forbidding illustrations that "offend". Why, that's practically what leads to revolting thugs like the Haredi Gur extremists in Arad. If we continue to allow any kind of censorship and don't make it clear to Islamofascists and such that violence is unacceptable, we won't be defending freedom.
Inger Støjberg, a hardline opponent of uncontrolled immigration, shared the image on Facebook, whilst reiterating her commitment to free expression after a museum decided to censor the images.
The Skovgaard Museum in Viborg, Denmark, chose not to include the drawing in a new exhibition about blasphemy since the Reformation, despite its obvious relevance to the topic.
“It is the museum’s own choice and they have their full right to do it, but I think it’s a shame,” Ms. Støjberg captioned the image, adding: “Honestly, I think we should be proud of the Mohammad cartoons.”
