Jyllands-Posten response
In response to protests from Danish Muslim groups Jyllands-Posten published two open letters on its website, both in Danish and Arabic versions, and the second letter also in an English version.[13][14] The second letter was dated 30 January 2006, and includes the following explanation and apology:

In our opinion, the 12 drawings were sober. They were not intended to be offensive, nor were they at variance with Danish law, but they have indisputably offended many Muslims for which we apologize.
It later emerged in the Guardian that Jyllands-Posten did not publish cartoons lampooning Jesus Christ three years earlier becuase the paper thought it would provoke an `outcry`. Furthermore, Flemming Rose, the cultural editor who commissioned the original 12 cartoons, was put on indefinite leave by the paper after he suggested that he would run cartoons satirising the Holocaust, which an Iranian paper Hamshahri said it would publish. ``Jyllands-Posten in no circumstances will publish Holocaust cartoons,`` said the paper

Well writen article.

Thank you, Yasser.

I`m not anti-semetic or anything. Some people said that this article suggests that I am anti-semetic. Jews are a great people and like all societies they have their black sheep too.

A well written piece. To the point, succinct.

Good job boys.
