Denmark's leading newspapers reprinted a cartoon Wednesday that depicts the Prophet Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban.
The papers said they wanted to show their firm commitment to freedom of speech after Tuesday's arrest in western Denmark of three people accused of plotting to kill the man who drew the cartoon.
The drawing by Kurt Westergaard and 11 other cartoons depicting Muhammad enraged Muslims two years ago when they appeared in a range of Western newspapers.
The Jyllands-Posten newspaper, which first published the 12 drawings on September 30, 2005, reprinted Westergaard's cartoon in its paper edition Wednesday. Several other major dailies, including Politiken and Berlingske Tidende, also reprinted the drawing, which shows Muhammad wearing a turban shaped like a bomb with a lit fuse.
"We are doing this to document what is at stake in this case, and to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech that we as a newspaper will always defend," said the Copenhagen-based Berlingske Tidende.

Exposure of the free speech regarding all religions is a good thing. I'm curious as to what excuses the apologists on this forum will have when the violence begins. A big hooray for the Danish news paper.
Have you ever noticed what gutless little pukes our college youth are, they will bash Christianity to no end, without fear of retribution, but they haven't the cajones to say one blastfamous thing about islam. I say bash all religions, be an equal opportunity basher, it shows integrity.
