"Should Denmark apologize for being a democracy instead of a theocracy in addition a theocracy too?"

The question is not to the point.

The newspaper should apologize for printing offensive material.

Look to recent US history for examples of such actions, Time and Newsweek, have recently(in the past 10-15 years) apologized for similar publications. Back in the 60's cartoons depicting Blacks in a negative light were common, they don't exist in the main stream media today.

By the way leading US and English political figures have deplored the publication of these cartoons.

I believe the US should back that paper to the hilt and tell the gov't of Denmark it made a mistake in apologizing.

Even the US has laws against hate speech, which can land you in jail.
