The Danish editor who commissioned the Prophet Muhammad cartoons at the centre of a global row has been sent on leave.
Flemming Rose, culture editor of the Jyllands-Posten newspaper, got the order after saying he might print Iranian cartoons of the Holocaust.
Jyllands-Posten editor-in-chief Carsten Juste told a Danish newspaper that the paper's editors told Rose "to take a vacation because no-one can understand the kind of pressure [Rose] has been under". Juste, who said the paper would not print the Iranian cartoons, did not say how long Rose would be on holiday.
However, Juste said that the newspaper "in no circumstances will publish Holocaust cartoons from an Iranian newspaper", which he called a "tasteless media stunt".
The Jyllands-Posten newspaper, which has expressed regret for offending Muslims by first publishing the cartoons last year, apologised for Rose's latest comments.
"Flemming Rose has expressed regret for his error of judgement that must be ascribed to the fact that... he has experienced inhumanly hard pressure," Juste said.
Rose also apologised for his comments.
"I have committed an error. I am 100% with the newspaper's line and Carsten Juste in this case," he said in an interview on Danish television.
