The Case of Jens Rohde

Danish Liberal party spokesman, Jens Rohde, claimed last Thursday that one of the children of one of the Danish cartoonists had been threatened by twelve Muslim men at her school. I linked to the claim here. It appears that claim is unfounded and Rohde has retracted it. The issue was no more than schoolgirl shenanigans. The hyperbole was a dumb move on Rohde’s part. The fate of the cartoonists is scandalous enough without larding it up with inaccuracy and exaggeration.
