The cartoon crisis was triggered by the publication of 12 cartoons in the largest Danish daily newspaper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten on 30 September 2005 and the Danish governments refusal to meet with 11 concerned ambas- sadors. However, Jyllands-Posten’s record on covering Islam; the ever growing restrictive identity politics and migration policies and the popular association of Islam with terrorism made it predictable that something drastic would eventually happen, although neither the form of the counter-reaction or the stubborn anti-Islamic forces were unknown. This collection of chapters seeks to fill out some of the most glaring holes in the media coverage and academic treatment of the Muhammad cartoon story. It will do so by situating the conflict more firmly in its proper socio-historical context by drawing on the author’s basic research on the Danish news media’s coverage of ethnic and religious minorities since the mid 1990s. The author uses thick contex- tualization to analyze this very current theme in IMER studies, which has consequences for most immigrants of non-Western countries to the Nordic countries. Keywords: Muhammad Cartoons, Jyllands-Posten, ethnic conflict, freedom of speech, spin communication.

  • Transnational Media Events
    TRANSNATIONAL MEDIATRANSNATIONAL EVENTS In September 2005, a newspaper in Denmark published 12 cartoons depicting Mohammed, the holy Prophet of Islam. Soon after publication, these pictures became part of various events, political projects and diplomatic action. All over the world, the cartoons – or interpretations of them – were connected to dis- cursive struggles that pre-existed their drawing and publication. The cartoon event thus extended well beyond its immediate dramatic phase of spring 2006, both into the past and the future, and became at least a small landmark case of post-9/11 global media history. TRANSNATIONAL MEDIA EVENTS In this book, a community of international media researchers collects some of the lessons learned and questions provoked and offered by media coverage of The MOHAMMED CARTOONS and the the Mohammed cartoons in 16 countries, ranging from Denmark, Egypt and Argentina to Pakistan and Canada. The book looks at the coverage of the car- IMAGINED CLASH of CIVILIZATIONS toons and related incidents through a number of conceptual lenses: political spin, free speech theory, communication rights, the role of visuals and images in global communication, Orientalism and its counter-discourses, media’s rela- tions to immigration policy, and issues of integration. Through this approach, the book aims at a nuanced understanding of the cartoon controversy itself as well as at more general insights into the role of the media in contemporary transnational and transcultural relations.

  • When Caricature Meets Resistance
    Chapter 9 When Caricature Meets Resistance Eva Beate Strømsted Self-censorship? Yes. There wasn’t much of it before, but today it [the satire] is drenched in self-censorship. I feel it affects almost everything I draw now. Earlier I just made a drawing with my opinion, and it got published. But now I think: ‘Okay, if I make it this way, it will not get published.’ Eventually I make a drawing that will be accepted (Cartoonist 3). According to Freedberg (1991), humans have always worshiped and feared images, giving pictures powerful and magical influence, ruining and censoring them. With regards to the art of cartoons, its aesthetics have been seen as a strong political weapon. It is especially within the last decade’s dramatic developments that the thoughts of the Norwegian cartoonist in the above quote must be located. In Paris 7 January 2015, two Islamists, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, connected to Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen, forced their way into the office of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Armed with assault rifles and other weapons, they killed 12 people and injured 11 others, all because of Charlie Hebdo’s drawings of Muhammad (Samuelsen 2015). However, the magazine has always published cartoons insulting whomever, often in a completely disrespectful manner, and the assassinations at Charlie Hebdo must be seen as an extension of the cartoon controversy that started ten years earlier. In 2005, Flemming Rose, the culture editor of the Danish newspaper, Jyllands- Posten, wanted to contribute to the debate about criticism of Islam and self-censorship among European artists.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19650-5 - The Cambridge Companion to New Religious Movements Edited by Olav Hammer and Mikael Rothstein Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to NEW RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS New religions emerge as distinct entities in the religious landscape when innovations are introduced by a charismatic leader, or a schis- matic group leaves its parent organization. New religious movements (NRMs) often present novel doctrines and advocate unfamiliar modes of behavior, and have therefore often been perceived as controversial. NRMs have, however, in recent years come to be treated in the same way as established religions – that is, as complex cultural phenom- ena involving myths, rituals, and canonical texts. This Companion discusses key features of NRMs from a systematic, comparative per- spective, summarizing results of forty years of research. The volume addresses NRMs that have caught media attention, including move- ments such as Scientology, New Age, the Neo-pagans, the Sai Baba movement, and Jihadist movements active in a post-9/11 context. An essential resource for students of religious studies, history of religion, sociology, anthropology, and psychology of religion. Olav Hammer is Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Southern Denmark. He is author of Claiming Knowledge: Strategies of Epistemology from Theosophy to the New Age (2001), and co-editor of Polemical Encounters: Esoteric Discourse and Its Others (with Kocku von Stuckrad, 2007), The Invention of Sacred Tradition (with James R. Lewis, 2007), and the Handbook of the Theosophical Current (with Mikael Rothstein, 2012).

Flemming Rose decided to publish twelve Muhammad cartoons creating a global controversy when he was in 2005 the culture editor of Daily 'Jyllands-Postenwas'. In May 2015, he was given a coveted Press Award by the Denmark's National Press Club. The cartoons were also published in French weekly 'Charlie Hebdo'. The Danish Press Club gave him its annual Publicistpris Prize for 'being a strong and cental actor in the international debate about freedom of speech'. Previously, Flemming Rose was 'nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize' by a Norwegian MP who said 'Giving a prize to a consistent defender of freedom of expression, even at a personal cost, would give a sign that those who try to muzzle that freedom through cowardly attacks against civilians, thus undermining peace between peoples, cannot ever succeed.' (according to Norway's NTB news Agency). Also, Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who whipped up outrage across the Muslim world with his 2007 sketch of the Prophet as a dog, was given a Prize by a 'Danish Free Press Society' group. He was attaked beginning of this year when attending a 'debate on free speech'.

Political Islam includes the establishment of Sharia (the body of Islamic religious law), which contains harsh restrictions on freedom of expression, as well as harsh punishments for apostasy and blasphemy and standards at odds with modern Western norms of gender equality. Political Islamists are actively attempting to extend the reach of Sharia over Western cultures and legal systems. This report addresses how, through means of actual physical violence, threats and intimidation, legal action, and political pressure, the emancipation of Muslim women is stunted if not ground to a halt.

  • The Case of Danish Cartoon Crisis
    European Scientific Journal May 2014 edition vol.10, No.14 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 CONFLICT IN THE GLOBAL AGE: THE CASE OF DANISH CARTOON CRISIS Ayhan Akbulut, PhD Turkish National Police, Turkey Abstract This paper attempts to understand the new forms of international conflicts and the global forces having an impact on that in the last decade. For this sake it examines the global crisis known as Danish Cartoon Crisis, its background features, actors, the impacts of these actors and the effects of globalization trends on the process. Findings show that the background of the cartoon case is composed by the civilization identity. Whereas people from different cultures have become closer to each other with the accelerating pace of globalization, the differences come to the fore and put them further in mind in the new small world. Increasing communication availability also increased the tension between people from different civilizational identities and the result has been more systemic hatred among them as a negative side of globalization. Keywords: International conflict, globalization, cartoon crisis Introduction This paper tries to understand the changing nature of international conflicts in the last decade. For this purpose it examines the international crisis, known as Danish Cartoon Crisis, and lived between Islamic countries and Western Europe in late 2005 and 2006. The main global background features and the actors of the crisis, the influences of the actors and the global sources of those influences form the subject of the paper. Firstly, a brief overview is made about international conflicts and its changing patterns in the history.
