Back in November Turkish press tried to get back at those horribly offending Danes with a counter-caricature of Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen in bed with PKK leader/terrorist Abdullah Ocalan:

Quote:
The issue of Tempo magazine which is scheduled to hit the stands today carries an striking caricature: Danish Prime Minister Rasmussen and now-imprisoned PKK leader Apo, lying in bed together, completely naked! And what's more, they are watching Roj TV from their bed.

This is a very carefully drawn caricature.

The editors of Tempo are claiming that they are running a caricature like this in order to "test freedom of the press."

And I am really curious about what will happen. Let's see how Denmark, which spends much time championing freedom of the press, greets this caricature!

The danish reaction: That is it?
