Danish Editor Says He'll Print Holocaust Cartoons
|
NEW YORK (AP) -- An Iranian newspaper says it plans to publish cartoons about the Nazi Holocaust -- and a Danish editor says he'll reprint them if he can.
Flemming Rose was behind the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that have ignited deadly rioting in the Muslim world.
Rose tells CNN he's trying to coordinate with the Iranian newspaper that's soliciting cartoons about the Holocaust.
The Iranian paper -- "Hamshahri" -- says it will hold the competition to test whether the West extends the principle of freedom of expression to the Nazi genocide as it did to the caricatures of Muhammad.
Those cartoons were first published by the Danish newspaper -- "Jyllands-Posten" -- in September. As Muslim protests mounted, numerous European newspapers have reprinted them in recent days in the name of free expression, provoking wider and angrier protests. |
