If I am not mistaken, they are the first major American print publication to run the cartoons. I wonder what Borders will do about this:
Controversial Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad have been reprinted in a U.S. magazine with commentary by leading U.S. cartoonist Art Spiegelman, who offers what he calls a "fatwa bomb meter" to rate their offensiveness.
Harper's Magazine published the article by Spiegelman in its June edition available on newsstands from Tuesday ...
Denmark's Jyllands-Posten newspaper published the 12 cartoons last year. Other newspapers around the world, mainly in Europe, later reprinted the cartoonsIn an article headlined "Drawing Blood: Outrageous cartoons and the art of outrage," Spiegelman, an elder statesman of political satire famous for his New Yorker cartoons, said the cartoons needed to be seen to be understood.
As a secular Jewish cartoonist living in New York City, I start out with four strikes against me, but I really don't want any irate Muslims declaring holy war on me," Spiegelman wrote in the article, describing himself as "a devout coward."
"It's not intended to add fuel to any fire," Spiegelman told Reuters by telephone. "I think that the tone is the tone of a secular wise-guy cartoonist rather than a scholar, but I wanted to show ... what couldn't be described," he said, adding that he was surprised that most of his friends had not seen the cartoons.
Borders couldn't possibly refuse to stock Harper's, could they? Harper's regularly trashes the President. Their lib creds are rock solid. It would go against Borders ethos to go against Harpers.
This might be fun to watch.
