Cartoons Controversies

Cartoon with Jesus and Mohammad kissing printed

The student newspaper of Victoria University has stepped into the Mohammad cartoon controversy – not by reprinting any of the Danish cartoons – but printing their own cartoon depicting Mohammad and Jesus kissing in a “Tunnel of Tolerance.” The cartoon runs next to the house editorial. The newspaper editor says they’ve broken now university rules and they will not remove the cartoon from the web site or remove the newspaper from the newsstands.

In the wake of the Jyllands-Posten cartoon controversy, the Strand weighs in on freedom of speech and press in the student media.
