POPSCartoonist Arrested "Nekschot’s work is rude and often sexually explicit. As such it is characteristic for the Dutch liberal mentality and not beyond the limit in the Netherlands. In his cartoons, however, he mocks the multicultural society, and that does seem to be beyond all bounds."

POPS17 Danish Newspapers Print Blasphemous Cartoon * Editors say they printed the caricature to take a stand against self-censorship Thursday, February 14, 2008 The Danish Foreign Ministry said meanwhile it was following the situation closely in the world. Members of Denmark’s Muslim community have distanced themselves from the murder plot revealed on Tuesday, but were opposed to the publication of the cartoon on Wednesday. Imam Walid Abdul Pedersen, a Protestant who converted to Islam, said, “It’s not a good idea to reproduce it and the newspapers could have defended the cartoonist differently, without resorting to provocation.” “It’s good to have a dialogue on freedom of expression, but you shouldn’t seek out a confrontation from the start,” he said.

POPSHello! Is Sanity in the House? By some people's reasoning it should be allowable for Jews to riot because Joe's BBQ opens and serves pulled pork platters? Christians should storm the gates because Wal-Mart is not keeping the Sabbath holy? Catholics should go berserk when someone doesn't genuflect before Mary? Why aren't more people standing up and saying these crazy people are crazy? We're all supposed to adhere to Sharia law? How utterly absurd and pointless.

POPSCartoon SEX and Spanish Royalty don't mix "Spain has developed the most lurid pornography in Europe, with magazines and television shows dedicated to the sex lives of the rich and famous. King Juan Carlos, 69, has not himself been entirely immune from scandal. A decade ago he was upbraided for mixing during his summer holidays with a highly questionable set of Mallorca businessmen. Under Spanish law, introduced in 1995, anybody who insults the royal family can face up to two years in prison. The public prosecutor argued that the cartoon was "clearly degrading and objectively defaming" and was "obviously an attack" against "the honour" of the prince because of "the deliberate and unjustified use of his image, in evident and conscious contempt of the Crown, causing notable hurt to its institutional prestige"."
