More European Papers Print Cartoons of Muhammad
(New York Times) Alan Cowell - Several European newspapers on Wednesday reprinted cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in an unflattering light, supporting a Danish newspaper in a sharpening debate over freedom of expression. In Paris, France Soir printed all twelve cartoons, declaring, "No religious dogma can impose its view on a democratic and secular society." In Germany, Die Welt printed one image on its front page. In Italy, La Stampa and Corriere della Sera published the cartoons. In Spain, they were printed in El Periodico, and Switzerland's Tribune de Geneve planned to publish them on Thursday.
