When the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published the cartoons of
the prophet Mohammed nine years ago, Denmark found itself at the
center of a global battle about the freedom of speech. The paper's
culture editor, Flemming Rose, defended the decision to print the
12 drawings, and he quickly came to play a central part in the
debate about the limitations to freedom of speech in the 21st
century. Since then, Rose has visited universities and think tanks
and participated in conferences and debates around the globe in
order to discuss tolerance and freedom. In The Tyranny of Silence,
Flemming Rose writes about the people and experiences that have
influenced the way he views the world and his understanding of the
crisis, including meetings with dissidents from the former Soviet
Union and ex-Muslims living in Europe. Now in paperback and with an
afterword that addresses the 2015 attack on the French satire
magazine Charlie Hebdo, Rose provides a personal account of an
event that has shaped the debate about what it means to be a
citizen in a democracy and how to coexist in a world that is
increasingly multicultural, multi-religious, and multi-ethnic.
