Seems to be a vicous rumor. See today's Jerusalem Post:

Drawing conclusions

RICHARD OESTERMANN, THE JERUSALEM POST Jun. 15, 2006

Jyllands-Posten Editorin-Chief Carsten Juste says he agrees with the view that Denmark's becoming Europe's standard-setter for freedom of expression - 63 years after being the only European country whose Jews were rescued from the Nazis - was somewhat accidental.

Juste's overnight thrust into the international limelight began on September 30, 2005, with the publication of the cartoons. The events that followed, though by now known to all, are worth reviewing:...(excerpted)

That's what I thought. I never believe anything that only appears in Saudi or Pakistani newspapers.

Then again, everyone enjoys a good "spontaneous combustion" story. I think I see one in the checkstand at least once a month.
