Ah the title of this article does not correctly tell us what is being said in it. Taken how it is it looks like the Danish paper hated Mohammed on one hand but protects Jesus on the other.
"Danish paper refused "offensive" Jesus cartoons"
Yup showing Jesus is offensive but Mohammed with a bomb on his head is not so much. But if you read down the article should be titled "Danish paper refused silly Jesus cartoons"
Jens Kaiser, the former editor of Jyllands-Posten's Sunday edition who turned down the cartoons three years ago, said he had done so because they were no good.
"Having seen the cartoons, I found that they were not very good. I failed to see the purportedly provocative nature," he said in a statement.
"My fault is that I didn't tell him what I really meant: The cartoons were bad." Kaiser said he told Zieler he had not used the cartoons because they were offensive to some readers.
Zieler's five colored cartoons portrayed Jesus jumping out of holes in floors and walls during his resurrection. In one, gnomes rated Jesus for style, another entitled "Saviour-cam" showed Jesus with a camera on his head staring at his feet.
Hmm, I wonder if the media is trying to stoke the fires of controversy here?
