I don 't know if the following is to be read in the articles mentioned in
this
thread, but in the paper of today there is an article about a guy, Kaare
Bluitgen , who is at the very origin of this ' meme'.
Bluitgen writes books for children and for one he needed illustrations about
Islam and Mohammed, but he never could find a decent designer to do the
job.
So, perhaps in an outburst of total dispair, he deplored this over against
the
noted paper Jyllands- Posten. The paper defied artists in declaring that
they
were to afraid, censored themselves, to blunt Muslims.
The result were the 12 cartoons where now the half of the worlds is talking
about.
Bluitgen is sitting down, is confused and watches the show.... his book is
his
best selling so far....oh yeah !!!!!
Regards,
Kenneth
