Holy war against newspaper (Over Mohammed
cartoons)

Internet collages threatening Denmark and daily newspaper
Jyllands-Posten with death and retribution have begun circulating on
the internet after the newspaper published caricatures of Muslim
prophet Mohammed

Bombs exploding over pictures of Danish daily Jyllands-Posten and
blood flowing over the national flag and a map of Denmark are among
the images circulating on the internet after the newspaper printed
twelve cartoons of the Muslim prophet Mohammed last month.

Daily newspaper Berlingske Tidende reported that the internet
collages, posted in the name of an unknown organisation calling itself
'The Glory Brigades in Northern Europe', showed pictures of various
tourist attractions in Denmark and stated that 'The Mujahedeen have
numerous targets in Denmark - very soon you all will regret this',
amongst other things.

Another picture showed soldiers, armed with bombs, over a map of
Denmark, with blood spattered over parts of the country.

The front page of Jyllands-Posten featured prominently on many of the
four collages. The newspaper has been criticised by Muslims for
printing the cartoons, and was forced to hire security guards after
receiving hate mail and death threats over the telephone.

The newspaper asked illustrators to make the cartoons after reports
that artists were reluctant to illustrate a book on Mohammed for fear
of Muslim retribution. The daily's editors said the cartoons were a test
of whether the threat of Islamic terrorism had limited the freedom of
expression in Denmark.
