COPENHAGEN - Danish newspaper
Jyllands-Posten, which angered Muslims by publishing cartoons of the
Prophet Muhammad 10 years ago, will not republish Charlie Hebdo's
cartoons due to security concerns.
"It shows that violence works," the newspaper stated in its editorial on Friday.
Denmark's other major
newspapers have all republished cartoons from the French satirical
weekly as part of the coverage of the attack, which killed 12 people in
Paris on Wednesday. Many other European newspapers also republished
Charlie Hebdo cartoons to protest against the killings. When
Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons by various artists in September
2005, most of which depict the Prophet Muhammad, it sparked a wave of
protests across the Muslim world in which at least 50 people died.
"We have lived with the
fear of a terrorist attack for nine years, and yes, that is the
explanation why we do not reprint the cartoons, whether it be our own or
Charlie Hebdo's," Jyllands-Posten said. "We are also aware that we
therefore bow to violence and intimidation." Jyllands-Posten decided to tighten its security level in the wake of the Paris attack. "The concern for our employees' safety is paramount," it said in Friday's editorial.
