Brussels Journal: Danish Cartoons Controversy Mastermind Revealed

imageIf like me you wondered what the conservative on-line news and commentary source The Brussels Journal had to say about the Danish Cartoons Controversy with it being back in the news on the one-year anniversary of the cartoons original publication, you might enjoy reading this entire, lengthy post that primarily serves to dig a bit into the political maneuvering that took place between the publication of the cartoons in September 2005 and the beginning of violent protests in early 2006. This includes the notion that Danish Imams agitating overseas strongly suggested that the cartoons were part of an anti-Islam campaign run by Denmark's Queen Margrethe II rather than simply being misquoted in saying so. I also hadn't seen anything like the polls reported on at the bottom of the entry. Agree or disagree with Brussels Journal's political take on things, they were very focused on disseminating local news about the subject, and remain a valuable resource.
