Norwegian TV Channel, TV 2, will show Mohammad cartoons

(VG Nett) This coming Monday the controversial Mohammad cartoons will be shown on Norwegian TV screens for the very first time.

Yesterday it was exactly one year ago since the controversial cartoons was published in Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten, an act that caused outrage in the Muslim world.

When TV 2 air the documentary “threatened to silence” this coming Monday the controversial cartoons will once again be shown according to Nettavisen.

Will strengthen freedom of speech.

The journalist behind the documentary, Per Christian Magnus, believes that showing the cartoons will help strengthen freedom of speech.

- I believe this is a very important act in the fight for freedom of speech. I can personally vouch for the finished product, and I guarantee that only journalistic considerations has been taken into account when considering what’s going to be shown and what’s not.

At the same time Magnus stress that not showing the cartoons will only censor the story behind the Mohammad cartoons itself.

The reason we made “threatened to silence” is to illustrate what the conflict was all about.

I like the way this guy thinks. He says that to show the cartoons is to "strengthen freedom of speech." He is right.

Often people will say to me that what we do on IBA will only cause more problems with Muslims. I say, who cares?

I see it this way. We do what we do for two reasons:

1) to strengthen free speech, because if people stop using their free speech, it gradually erodes,

and,

2) to use the byproduct of our free speech (which is Muslim anger) to show all those who aren't paying attention that the Islamofascists are not a reasonable partner for negotiation.

In other words to wake people up.
