Drawings of Mohammed

Bob Katzenelson


Bob KatzenelsonThere isn't much of the Prophet on the next picture either:

It's difficult to see, who it is that Bob Katzenelson has drawn. I believe it's Kåre Bluitgen (see photo). Kåre has an orange in his turban. This is a Danish idiom meaning "to be unexpectedly lucky".
Author Kåre Bluitgen
There's "PR-stunt" written on the orange. Kåre holds a stick-drawing of Mohammed in his hand, so the joke is that Kåre has promoted his career by calling his attention to his difficulties in finding an artist for his book.

Like I said, I'm not entirely sure whom the person under the turban is supposed to be, but the stick-drawing in his hand has got to be Mohammed, which means that the drawing is blasphemous!

Added:As I said it's hard to say whom various drawings are supposed to depict, when they are hiding under a turban.

It has been claimed that the person is not Kåre Bluigten, but rather Pia Kjærsgård - leader of the political party Dansk Folkeparti, which has a critical stance on immigration.

Look at the pictures and decide for yourself. Whatever the answer is, two things are certain: (1) The person is not Mohammed, and (2) everybody else must put up with routinely being subjected to caricature - except Muslims - because Islam is Above Criticism.
