Go, Watch: Westergaard Interviewed On Canadian Christian Television

I haven't carved the room in my schedule yet, but you may want to watch Kurt Westergaard on something called The Michael Coren Show, available through the CTS web site. I found the piece through a brief article in praise of the interview. I disagree with that article's take that no one ever asks why the cartoonists did the drawing in the first place and that they assume the worst. I imagine the cartoonists had a variety of reasons to want to do the drawing, everything from a general belief in free speech, a specific belief in free speech as an issue at that moment in Danish cultural history, an even more specific belief that Jyllands Posten was doing something good by publishing the drawings, or maybe a bunch of other stuff like perhaps they could use the gig. I don't know that the artists' motivations were ever a big issue one way or the other except with lunatics who want to kill them, to be honest.
