The Danish Mohammed cartoons that sparked seething, rioting, and murder across the Islamic world will be broadcast on Norwegian television Monday night for the first time, in a documentary titled Threatened to Silence: Norwegian TV 2 will show Mohammad cartoons.

(VG Nett) This coming Monday the controversial Mohammad cartoons will be shown on Norwegian TV screens for the very first time.

Yesterday it was exactly one year ago since the controversial cartoons was published in Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten, an act that caused outrage in the Muslim world.

When TV 2 air the documentary “Threatened to Silence” this coming Monday the controversial cartoons will once again be shown according to Nettavisen.

The journalist behind the documentary, Per Christian Magnus, believes that showing the cartoons will help strengthen freedom of speech.

“I believe this is a very important act in the fight for freedom of speech. I can personally vouch for the finished product, and I guarantee that only journalistic considerations has been taken into account when considering what’s going to be shown and what’s not.”

At the same time Magnus stress that not showing the cartoons will only censor the story behind the Mohammad cartoons itself.

“The reason why we made ‘Threatened to Silence’ in the first place was to illustrate what the conflict was all about.”
