Beschreibungen/Notizen

• When the Jordanian newspaper Shihane published on Feb 2 three of the Danish cartoons that sparked so much controversy, its editors wondered out loud on what is a greater source of prejudice against Islam and whether the cartoons or the images of a hostage's throat being slit in front of a camera. The newspaper was then pulled off the newsstands, and its editor was dismissed. Here, Allal calls for freedom of expression and argues that these cartoons were influenced by the rightist and racist atmosphere in Denmark and some other European countries.
