A leading danish politician (candidate for mayor of Copenhagen) wrote on her home page that muslim immigrants were like a national cancer. That is in fact illegal in Denmark and she has been prosecuted, but the point is not that Jyllandsposten is not on legal grounds. The point is that Jyllandsposten has been part in a general rightwing "blame the immigrants"-campaign that is just mean fear mongering. And now they want protection under "freedom of speech" rules?
They should take responsibility and either apologize to the world of muslims or at least announce that they - and not danish dairy producers - are to blame for the offense.
