Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update
* in a kind of King Kong vs. Godzilla face off of troubling-to-Muslims makers of speech, the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard
has announced his intention to support a lawsuit filed on his behalf by the Danish Union of Journalists against Geert Wilders for the use of his bomb-in-turban Muhammed caricature in Wilders' new, apparently anti-Koran, short film called
Fitna. The Westergaard caricature and the Wilders film have been exhibits 1 and 1a in recent complaints and protests by Muslims in various countries against instances of provocative speech in European countries.
* however,
this article simply has Westergaard seeking advice on the matter.
* incidentally,
Fitna has gone on-line.
* a call for moderation and dialog from King Abdullah is just Saudi Arabia being Saudi Arabia,
some articles suggest.
