Freedom of Speech - Jyllands-Posten's Charade Exposed on HARDtalk

Stephen Sackur exposes the charade of Freedom of Speech that Jyllands-Posten hides behind - their hypocrisy exposed when he asks the editor if he would publish cartoons of a Jewish Rabbi dressed as a Nazi. In September 2005, Denmark's Jyllands-Posten newspaper published a series of 12 cartoons which depicted the Prophet Mohammed of Islam. The cartoons drew protests from Muslims in Denmark at first but then in early 2006 these protests spread across the world. Danish products were boycotted worldwide in addition to other actions which led to steep losses for the Danish industry. Stephen Sackur speaks to the culture editor of Jyllands-Posten and the local Imam who led the opposition to the publication in this episode of HARDtalk. It was the first time these men had sat down face-to-face and debated the issue in public. Courtesy: BBC News
