Inviting Islamic Rage, Denmark Papers Reprint the Mohammed Cartoons - All American Blogger Joins in Solidarity

What a bold and courageous statement:

(CNN) — Newspapers across Europe Wednesday reprinted the controversial cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed that sparked worldwide protests two years ago.

The move came one day after Danish authorities arrested three people allegedly plotting a “terror-related assassination” of Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist behind the drawing.

Berlingske Tidende, was one of the newspapers involved in the republication by newspapers in Denmark. It said: “We are doing this to document what is at stake in this case, and to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech that we as a newspaper always will defend,” in comments reported by The Associated Press.

As Captain Ed said:

Unfortunately, American newspapers and media outlets do not appear interested in expressing the same solidarity. CNN doesn’t include the image in its report, and so far, I haven’t seen any newspaper cover it yet, although they may tomorrow. Only the New York Times gave any coverage to the arrests in today’s editions.

We join with them and other bloggers in solidarity by also showing the cartoon that risked the cartoonists head.

In fact, let’s reprint our Saturday Morning cartoons from a while back:
