Week 12

This is a difficult situation for the editor because the Danish paper should be able to print whatever they want in their country. It is good that the editor did not give into the pressure from the protestors. The editor had to have known that by publishing this cartoon that there would be an outroar in the muslim community. If anything the editor should just except the consequences and take responsibility of their actions. The editor should be able to publish what they want, however there are some topics such as The Holocaust, child abuse, and rape that are too sensitive to be satirized. These topics happen all the time and can damage someone emotionally if it is made fun of publically.
