Pressestimmen
"The 'cartoons that shook the world' have polarized opinions and values in a war of words waged around the globe. Jytte Klausen's timely book brings facts and comparative data to make sense of a debate too often biased by passion, fantasies and false representations."--Patrick Weil, author of "How to Be French: Nationality in the Making since 1789 "--Patrick Weil
Kurzbeschreibung
On September 30, 2005, the Danish newspaper "Jyllands-Posten" published twelve cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Five months later, thousands of Muslims inundated the newspaper with outpourings of anger and grief by phone, email, and fax; from Asia to Europe Muslims took to the streets in protest. This book is the first comprehensive investigation of the conflict that aroused impassioned debates around the world on freedom of expression, blasphemy, and the nature of modern Islam. Jytte Klausen interviewed politicians in the Middle East, Muslim leaders in Europe, the Danish editors and cartoonists, and the Danish imam who started the controversy. Following the winding trail of protests across the world, she deconstructs the arguments and motives that drove the escalation of the increasingly globalized conflict. She concludes that the Muslim reaction to the cartoons was not - as was commonly assumed - a spontaneous emotional reaction arising out of the clash of Western and Islamic civilizations. Rather it was orchestrated, first by those with vested interests in elections in Denmark and Egypt, and later by Islamic extremists seeking to destabilize governments in Pakistan, Lebanon, Libya, and Nigeria. Klausen shows how the cartoon crisis was, therefore, ultimately a political conflict rather than a colossal cultural misunderstanding.

Where are the Cartoons? Censored by Yale University Press
30. September 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
One might think that a book titled "The Cartoons that Shook the World,"
especially a scholarly one published by an academic press, would contain
reproductions of the cartoons that are the subject of the entire book.
In fact, the original manuscript did, but the cartoons were removed
by the publisher, Yale University Press. The publisher censored its own
book because it did not want to offend anyone. The book was thus
"bowdlerized," robbing the reader of the most interesting and relevant parts.
The banned cartoons apparently can be found in a new book titled
"Muhammad: The Banned Images" by Gary Hull. Amazon deserves credit for
selling "The Banned Images" and for having more spine than
Yale University Press.

shame on you, Yale
25. Juni 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Unbelievably, for a book about the Mohammed cartoons controversy, this book doesn't reproduce the cartoons themselves. But that's not because of copyright reasons: that's because of cowardice on the part of Yale University Press.
Boy, we sure are learning a lot about the First Amendment these days, mainly that it only protects us from the government, not our own cowardice.
Bruce Bawer is right: "If the West is saved from jihad, it will be largely a result of the uninhibited nature of free speech on the Internet."
You can count Yale out of the fight.
America, welcome to your new First Amendment: freedom of speech, as long as it's okay with the Muslims.

Sad Commentary -
21. März 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The entire point of the book, I would have thought, is to show us the 'offensive cartoons' and thereby allow readers to understand the controversy. How can this be done without the cartoons? (Actually, they were there originally, by the publisher didn't want the controversy. So much for academic freedom, 'Freedom of the Press,' and facing the truth.)
