| Danish artists scared of Islam |
| 2005-09-20 |
| Since the murder of the Islam critical Dutch film director Theo van Gogh, and the violent attack on a lecturer at the Danish Carsten Niebuhr Institute, Danish artists are fearful of criticising Islam. Author, KÃ¥re Bluitgen, is due to publish a book on the profit Mohammed in two weeks time, but so far no one has agreed to illustrated the work through fear of reprisals from Islamic extremists. According to the author, three artists have turned down an offer to illustrate the book based on their fear of being attacked if they do so. The president of the Danish Writers Union, Frants Iver Gundelach, said that it is a gross attack on freedom of speech, and the issue will be taken up at the next union meeting. |

| #2 Author, KÃ¥re Bluitgen, is due to publish a book on the profit Mohammed in two weeks time... Freudian slip or English as a Second Language? but so far no one has agreed to illustrated the work through fear of reprisals from Islamic extremists. Can Salman Rushdie draw? He might as well take the gig since they are already out to get him. |

| #1 These are probably the same sort of people who would have no qualms about dipping a crucifix in urine. I wonder if it's occurred to the "brave dissidents" in the art world that other people offended by their works may start to exercise the "Muslim option", now that they've seen how effective it is? Do they really want to live in that world? |
