THE 12 cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed published by a Danish newspaper
which have caused outrage in the Muslim world are to be used as a teaching
aid in schools, an educational publisher said in an interview published
today.

They may also be displayed in a museum. 

"What is happening at the moment has so great a significance that you cannot
brush them under the carpet," Peter Mollerup, head of the academic section
of the Danish publisher Gyldendal, told the newspaper Politiken. 

"It is essential that future generations know about these drawings," he
said. 

He said it was not Gyldendal's intention to provoke Muslims, and the
cartoons would be displayed in the context of a painstaking study of the
whole affair. 

Sofie Lene Back of the Royal Library told Politiken that the caricatures
were essential for history and "it would be bad historical practice to
censure them". 

Ervin Nielse, head of the Mediemuseum (media museum) in Odense in the centre
of the country said he "did not rule out" one day displaying "these drawings
that sparked it all off".
