A Discussion of The Cartoons That Shook the World
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 September 2011
Jytte Klausen's The Cartoons That Shook the World offers an interesting political science account of the Danish cartoon controversy and of a broader set of tensions between multiculturalism, civility, and freedom of expression. The book is also a fascinating case study of how political science can itself become the object of dispute, due to Yale University Press' decision to publish the book without any reproductions of the controversial cartoons.
We have thus asked a range of political scientists to comment on the Danish cartoon imbroglio, the book's analysis of it, and the controversy over the book itself.—Jeffrey C. Isaac, Editor

The review itself contains statements of the type used in weaving the anti-Muslim narrative, such as “If 9/11 was the hard jihad using suicide bombers, the cartoon controversy was the soft jihad of ‘lawfare,’ using diplomats and lawyers.”
