Jytte Klausen is Professor of Comparative Politics at Brandeis University and an Affiliate at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University. She is the author of The Cartoons That Shook the World about the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad and the worldwide protests that followed their publication. This book has itself become a source of controversy as its publisher reneged at the last minute on its commitment to publish the illustrations as included in the book, raising serious questions concerning free speech, Dr. Klausen, who has made the study of Islam her lifes work, denies that there is anything in her book which would be offensive to mainstream Muslims. She questions whether acute political correctness is the cause of the prestigious academic presss change of mind on its publication in its entirety or whether the problem is more due to fear of offending radical Islamic fundamentalists and incurring their wrath and possible terrorist acts.

clauhouda: I cannot believe that we have become such cowards to please this barbaric sect. Our children will inherit a world where they will have to fight for what we have naively taken for granted. We are really pathetic and it saddens me! No matter what we do, these fanatics will never respect and appreciate us. It's time we realize that!
