They grew against that system, they had free speech directly coded in their DNA. When the Danish newspaper got threaten by religious forces, they just reacted as they always reacted against censorship. No other reaction could have make sense for them.

?!?!
their explanation is very strange...they were specifically asked by the government, that was warned by security agencies, of an imminent and clear danger of a terror attack not just to "free speech coded in DNA" group but to embassies and international schools world wide, so basically to 100-s of innocent people...
so "the only reaction that made any sense to them" was to endanger 100-s of people so they could feel free about printing something that the whole world agress on is: not useful in any way?

and they wanted to help the situation by insulting every muslim believer by drawing allah and making demonstrations happen and ultimately death threats and closing of embassies and schools?
I am not muslim and I do not believe in imaginary firends in the sky...I am not trolling I am genuinely interested in how you see their comic as anything else than adding fuel to an unnecessary fire?
how could they possibly think their cartoon would help fight islamophobia by insulting their religion?
