The Danish editor who first published the Prophet Mohammed cartoons that sparked global protests has been sent on leave. His publishers took action after he had expressed interest in publishing Iranian holocaust cartoons.Flemming Rose is a junior editor at the best-selling Danish newspaper that first published the series of cartoons about the Prophet Mohammed. Hoping to ride a global wave of anger among some Muslims, an Iranian newspaper had said it would commission cartoons on the Holocaust to test Europe's tolerance of free speech. Mr Rose responded by saying he would consider publishing those Iranian cartoons. That was too much for his editor-in-chief, who said the Iranian cartoons would not be reprinted and he asked Mr Rose to take a vacation, saying no one could understand the kind of pressure his junior editor has been under.
