European newspapers support freedom of speech
The big German newspaper "Die Welt", the German newspaper "Berliner Zeitung" and the big French newspaper "France Soir" have all joined in the fight for free spreech.
Die Welt printed the bombturban drawing on its frontpage and the two other newspapers also printed several of the cartoons.
Die Welt says the following in connection with the image on their frontpage:
"Democracy is the institutionalised form of freedom of expression. There is no right to protection from satire in the west; there is a right to blasphemy"
France Soir printed a cartoon of their own that show Buddha, Yahweh, God and Mohammed sitting on a cloud with God saying to Mohammed "Don't be angry, we have alle been caricatrued". The headline of the frontpage was: "Yes, we have the right to caricature God".
