Anti-Islam cartoons on show in Eindhoven

Controversial international newspaper cartoons are to be exhibited from 16 September in Eindhoven.

The works on display include anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and anti-Islamic cartoons from both Western and Arabic cartoonists. Among them are the Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard and the Dutchman Gregorius Nekschot, who was recently arrested by the Dutch authorities.

COS Brabant, an oganisation for international development and cooperation, will show the cartoons in the Plaza Futura theatre and event centre. It has selected about 30 cartoons about religion, peace and security and poverty.
