A POSITIVE SIGN: Muslims Supporting Anti-Islam Cartoonist: “Lars Hedegaard, the Danish cartoonist who set off a firestorm in 2006 with his illustration of Muhammad, is now getting a notable show of support—from Muslims in Denmark. A recent attempt on Hedegaard’s life has Copenhagen’s Muslim community taking a stand for freedom of speech . . . . These are extremely encouraging signs, but the issue remains thorny. There are divisions among both native Danes and Denmark’s Muslim immigrant community. Some Danes blame Hedegaard for intentionally provoking violence; others blame the Muslim community for reacting violently. In the country’s Muslim community, some believe Hedegaard crosses lines he shouldn’t; others believe that, no matter how much they detest his actions, he has the right to do so.”
