Denmark’s three main newspapers today have decided to reprint the infamous, ‘Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons,’ following the arrest of three suspected terrorists reportedly planning the assassination of the cartoonist responsible for the drawings.
Danish cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard, gained worldwide fame in the western world and worldwide infamy in the Muslim world when he scribbled 12 satirical cartoons negatively depicting the Islamic Prophet Mohammed in late 2005.
