/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The by far most famous of the 12 Danish Muhammad
cartoons, Kurt Westergaard’s prophet with a bomb in his turban, has
been reprinted to raise money for the international fight for free
speech.
One thousand individually numbered and signed copies of the `Big Mo’
cartoon will be sold for US $ 250 a piece. The proceeds will go to the
International Free Press Society.
Says President of the Free Press Society Lars Hedegaard: ` By
republishing Kurt Westergaard’s cartoon we intend to strike a blow at
a level where free speech is actually threatened. And that is not at
the level of the law.’
`Freedom of expression is protected under our constitution and no
politician intends to change that. So the enemies of free speech are
not demanding a constitutional amendment but operate at a more
dangerous and effective level, i.e. by intimidating the private
sphere,’ cited him as saying.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
