The French newspaper Le Monde published its own brilliantly conceived and drawn cartoon of Muhammad on yesterday’s front page. The copy -- repeated over and over as if the artist were an unruly student required to write "I was a bad boy" on the blackboard 100 times" -- "Je ne dois pas dessiner Mahomet," translates "I must not draw Mohamamed.
"
The Brussels Journal continues:
Meanwhile the Muhammad cartoons have been published in a number of newspapers in various European countries. The BBC broadcast them in the news so that its audience would understand what the fuss is all about. The French newspaper Le Monde published its own cartoon of Muhammad on yesterday’s front page. On Wednesday the editor of the French daily France Soir, Jacques Lefranc, was fired because he had republished the Muhammad cartoons. Journalists at France Soir defended Mr Lefranc’s decision yesterday by publishing a front page and an editorial defending freedom of speech. In Tunesia and Morocco, however, the sale of France Soir has been prohibited.http://sisu.typepad.com/sisu/2006/02/it_does_not_mat.html
