The quote above was given by Ulf Johansson, Editor-in-Chief of Nerikes Allehanda (Sweden) at the Press Freedom Round Table at the 61st annual World Newspaper Congress in Gothenburg, Sweden. He described how his life was affected by making the decision to publish a caricature of the prophet Mohammed as a "round-about dog".

Freedom of press and freedom of religion are not each other's antithesis, but rather two sides of the same coin, Ulf Johansson said, explaining that his newspaper strongly belives in both and in giving people the opportunity to express their religious beliefs, he has to give others the right to question, debate and even ridicule those beliefs. Nerikes Allehanda is a regional newspaper and in the town, Örebro, where it is published serves as the arena that people can use to practice freedom of speech. So it must be open to all kinds of opinions even if not all agree with them.

After the publication Ulf Johansson recieved threats and after some time an alledged Al-Qaida leader put a price on his head. Today he is not sure if he would again make the decision to publish another piece that could cause as much controversy, mainly because he is worried for his own safety as well as that of his family. Although, he believes that a decision like that should not be caused by fear.
