Spain, Italy, and a Dutch MP post those cartoons
If only they hadn’t kicked up such a fuss in the first place.
The BBC reports that La Stampa in Italy, and El Periodico in Spain have both reprinted some of the offending Mo toons, joining Denmark, Norway, Germany and apparently Iceland in the stand for freedom of expression in Europe. The Die Welt editorial states:
The protests from Muslims would be taken more seriously if they were less hypocritical.
Meanwhile a Dutch MP Groep Wilders has published all 12 of the original Mo toons on his blog.
UPDATE: Dutch daily De Telegraaf has also published them.
UPDATE: The editor of France Soir has been sacked by his Coptic Christian boss, Raymond Lakah. Lakah said it was “as a powerful sign of respect for the intimate beliefs and convictions of every individual”.
