A French newspaper has reproduced a set of Danish caricatures depicting the Prophet Muhammad that have caused outrage in the Muslim world.
France Soir said it had published the cartoons to show that "religious dogma" had no place in a secular society.
Their publication in Denmark led to protests in several Arab nations.
Responding to France Soir's move, the French government said it supported press freedom - but added that beliefs and religions must be respected.
The cartoons first appeared in September in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten and were later reprinted in a Norwegian paper.
Some of the cartoons depict Muhammad as a terrorist. One image depicts the prophet wearing a turban shaped as a bomb with a burning fuse.
Islam bans any depiction of Muhammad or Allah, in case they lead to idolatry.
France Soir published the full set of Danish drawings. The paper said it decided to republish them "because no religious dogma can impose itself on a democratic and secular society".
The offices of Jyllands-Posten had to be evacuated on Tuesday because of a bomb threat. The paper apologised a day earlier for causing offence to Muslims, although it maintained it was legal under Danish law to print them.
Ministers from 17 Arab countries on Tuesday urged Denmark's government to punish Jyllands-Posten for what they described as an "offence to Islam".
