When news comes to you...

It is interesting what you discover while checking sources. 

I am sure you will remember that at the height of the furore over the publication of cartoons in Jyllands Posten it was alleged that Danish theologian Professor Tim Jensen had advised its editors that, ‘It will offend Muslims and only cause pointless provocation.’

According to his own narrative, it appears that this warning never actually took place:

"A transcript (which I later obtain) reveals that, amidst what was in fact a long discussion of pictorial representations in Islam, I was at no point asked to comment on the published cartoons. Indeed, it is evident that I don’t know that the cartoons have been published. On the contrary, I seem to be under the impression that J-P is merely planning to publish some innocent drawings of Muhammad."

Yet again confirmation of what we already know: when news reaches you, verify it!
