Top cop warns on cartoons
 PUBLICATION of blasphemous cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in Victorian newspapers could damage community relations, Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon said today. Ms Nixon acknowledged it was the right of different media outlets to decide if they would publish the cartoons. But she added it was "a sad thing to see communities harmed in the way that they have been". The responsibility for the harm does not lie in the publishing of cartoons but the reaction of religious zealots. Do your job and protect us from them. "It's unnecessary damage being done to our relationships with a whole range of people in the community and I think that would be sad." Welcome to multi-culti policing YOUR JOB as Police Chief Commissioner is to protect MY RIGHT TO FREEDOM LIST OF AUSTRALIA'S SHAME: In Melbourne, Herald Sun editor Peter Blunden has said his newspaper would not publish the cartoons. In Melbourne, The Age is also refusing to publish the cartoons. Posted by: anon1 2006-02-06 |
