Having spent many many wonderful months in Denmark over the last 20 years because my in-laws live there, I must say that The Danes are wonderful, well read, educated open-minded people. They are always on top of world events & try to live their beliefs. I am proud that their newpapers aren't afriad to print the truth even if it offends the various religious beliefs - especially ones that openly teach hate against others. Remember that when the Jews were being persecuted by the Nazis and the occupying troops made all Jews wear yellow Stars of David on their clothes the King of Denmark & his family (not Jewish) started wearing the Stars and everyone in Denmark followed suit and wore them! That takes guts! To start talking censorship to the Danes is pure insanity. They aren't people who fear retalliation for saying what is truthful and fair.
