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.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”.

“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.“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.
Journalists at some of the other publications which reprinted the cartoons said they also stood in solidarity with the staff at Charlie Hebdo. Another Danish paper Jyllands-Posten, which set off the original storm by publishing the cartoons, increased security at its office “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.
“It’s very disturbing news for all of us,” said Ole Nyeng, the foreign editor of the Danish weekly political newspaper Weekendavisen. While he said they had no intention of reprinting the cartoons, especially while the motive for the assault remained under investigation, he expressed hope that the attacks would not silence the media.
“We might be more stubborn to defend press freedom,” he told The Independent.
At the Dutch weekly news magazine Elsevier, which was one of the first publications to reprint the Jyllands-Posten cartoons, the editor-in-chief Arendo Joustra said he was considering how to best express sympathy with Charlie Hebdo in the next edition. “It’s obvious that this is an attack on free journalism and it has a chilling effect on our work,” he said.
Tim Wolff, editor-in-chief of the German satirical magazine Titanic, told Deutsche Welle that the paper had no plans to change its editorial line. “If these attacks are the work of Islamists, then it makes satire even more relevant,” he said. “Following such attacks, there should be more satire, and this will be the case for our magazine.”
In 2006, Jyllands-Posten apologised for causing any offence by running the cartoons, but the backlash continued. In 2012 three men were convicted in of plotting to kill Jyllands-Posten staff. One of the cartoonists, Kurt Westergaard, narrowly escaped injury in 2010 when a Somali man entered his house waving an axe.
