#1 He said he had been told by the government that Arab media were carrying reports about SD-Kuriren's call for cartoons about Muhammad.

He's scared. He's terrified at what they might do. The backing off is not to avoid "offending", it's an admission of fear of the hordes. The fear of all MSM is so evident, it's sickening.

#4 Oh it's fear of the locals. Sweeden is run by Dhimi political elites. "Sweden has the second-largest percentage Muslim population in Western Europe. France has the highest Muslim population percentage, 7 percent"

#6 "I will defend freedom of the press no matter what the circumstances..."

Except of course under these circumstances. How very hypocritical.

#7 I have worked with and like both the Swedes and the Danes. I think the difference between the two countries is best illustrated in that the Danish Queen Margrette's bloodline runs back to Harald Bluetooth and viking days while Sweden's King Carl Gustav traces his back to one of Napoleon's Marshalls, Count Bernadotte, a Frenchman. King Carl Gustav is a good king, but his royal motto is: "For Sweden - With the times." Queen Margrette's is "God's help, the love of the people, Denmark's strength"
