COPENHAGEN (AFX) - The editor of the Danish newspaper that first published the controversial prophet Mohammed cartoons said the media was giving Muslims special treatment as a result of the subsequent uproar.
'It turned out that the freedom of the press crumbled much more quickly than I thought. It seems to me that the freedom of the press the world over is being limited as Muslims are being given special treatment,' Jyllands-Posten editor Carsten Juste told the Danish daily Kristelig Dagbladet.
'The result is that these privileges are going to be extended even further,' Juste warned, saying he was 'very ill at ease with what is happening at the moment'.
Juste said religious belief was a private matter, but it had entered the public arena like never before.
'Now we have to be careful about things we never thought we would have to be careful about,' such as writing about the oppression of women in Muslim societies, he said.
That is nothing compared to how fast the US media spiked the footage from the world trade center. I was in Europe, and watched and heard the bodies of our countrymen hitting the ground. I will never forget the watching the hugging couple.....
And the US media quit showing anything so as not to "offend muslim sensibilities". I only know that I will not be alive to see how the US media adapts to dhimmitude.
Europe is starting to wake up.
