Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Danish newspaper has republished caricatures of the Prophet Mohamed from Charlie Hebdo as part of its coverage.
Thursday’s print edition of Berlingske, available online on Wednesday night, showed several past front pages from the French magazine. Among them was one depicting the Prophet Mohamed and another about sharia law.
Such images provoked angry reactions from some Muslims when originally published by Charlie Hebdo, and footage of the killings at the magazine’s offices showed gunmen shouting “we have avenged the Prophet Mohamed”. Berlingske’s editor-in-chief Lisbeth Knudsen said her newspaper’s action in republishing the cartoons was not a protest.
“We will print them as documentation of what kind of a magazine it was that has been hit by this terrible event,” Ms Knudsen told the BNB news agency.
