Mohammed Dog Cartoon Creator Speaks Out



Infidel of the Week, Lars Vilk, the artist who drew the cartoon here on the left speaks out and Gates of Vienna has the story.


He says we needed a "hot potato" to spur discussion:



Artist Lars Vilks has spoken out about the controversy surrounding the publication of his picture of Muhammad as a dog in local newspaper Nerikes Allehanda.


Speaking to news agency TT, Vilks said that a provocation was necessary to create a debate.


“We must be free to criticize religions. Why should Islam be exempted from the sort of criticism that is commonplace for Judaism and Christianity?” he said.


Vilks added that “hot potato” was needed to force a proper discussion.


“A lot of people think we should have a nice debate, but when it comes down to it nobody is interested. An initiative of sorts is needed to bring matters to a head,” he said.



Go read the whole thing at Gates of Vienna.
