Flemming Rose – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: “Flemming Rose” the man who published those cartoons depicting Mohammed as a suicide bomber, has some disturbing ties to campus watch, and seems to be obsessed with the “clash of civilizations”.
According to the Wiki article
There is some controversy over whether political ideology informed Flemming Rose’s decision to publish the offending cartoons. Allegations of ties to neo-conservative thought abound, but so far have not been lucidly substantiated. In 2004, he travelled to the USA to visit the Neoconservative Daniel Pipes and subsequently wrote and published a generally positive account of Daniel Pipes, which has been held up as apologetic by certain critics. Rose does not comment on Pipes’s ideology in the profile.
He was certainly providing an echo to Daniel Pipes, when he made this statement.
“About the question of integration and how compatible is the religion of Islam with a modern secular society – how much does an immigrant have to give up and how much does the receiving culture have to compromise.”
The paper that published this appears to have refused a similar cartoon about Jesus.
Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that first published the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad that have caused a storm of protest throughout the Islamic world, refused to run drawings lampooning Jesus Christ, it has emerged today.
The Danish daily turned down the cartoons of Christ three years ago, on the grounds that they could be offensive to readers and were not funny.
In April 2003, Danish illustrator Christoffer Zieler submitted a series of unsolicited cartoons dealing with the resurrection of Christ to Jyllands-Posten.
Zieler received an email back from the paper’s Sunday editor, Jens Kaiser, which said: “I don’t think Jyllands-Posten’s readers will enjoy the drawings. As a matter of fact, I think that they will provoke an outcry. Therefore, I will not use them.
Now Flemming Rose, thats Flem for short,(cough, cough) is coordinating with the Iranian paper that is publishing the inflammatory protocols cartoons.

Wednesday February 8, 2006The Danish paper responsible for the original caricatures of the prophet Muhammad is set to stoke the row further by running cartoons satirising the Holocaust.
Flemming Rose, the culture editor of Danish daily Jyllands-Posten, said today he was trying to get in touch with the Iranian paper, Hamshari, which plans to run an international competition seeking cartoons about the Holocaust.
‘My newspaper is trying to establish a contact with the Iranian newspaper, and we would run the cartoons the same day as they publish them,’ Mr Rose told CNN.

The Danish editor was also defiantly unapologetic about the original publication of 12 cartoons – one of which featured the prophet wearing a turban shaped as a bomb – in his paper five months ago.”
Flem is an old cold warrior like Rummy and Cheney.
