DUTCH POLICE ARREST CARTOONIST

Posted by avideditor on May 17, 2008

Be careful what you draw. It might offend the “religion of peace”. I think these cartoons are great and represent a truth in regard to the Jihadist.

 


Although I don’t argree with this site all the time I think Brussels Journal got this right. 

The Dutch authorities have arrested the cartoonist Gregorius Nekschot (a pseudonym. Nekschot means deathblow, litt: “shot in the back of the neck” [An interview with Nekschot here]). The judicial authorities in Amsterdam said yesterday that the cartoonist was arrested as a suspect for the criminal offense of “publishing cartoons which are discriminating for Muslims and people with dark skin.”
