As Malmø burns for the second night running and Gjellerup church escapes its fifth arson attack this year, Kurt Westergaard (who has yet to be murdered despite the best efforts of two Tunisians) has sent a nice Christmas card to the Free Press Society. The text reads "Self censorship only makes the truth more convincing". The figure holds a small sign that reads 'Freedom of speech'.

Is it because they're scared of being beheaded by Muslims, so they try to revise their self-censorship as "Sensitive"?
I'm not sure who you are refering to directly by writing 'them', but assuming you are refering to the Free Press Society then no, The Free Press Society, as far as I understand it, is all for standing up for freedom of expression.
Westergaards xmas card is affirming his stance after a period of keeping his head down. In recent months, Denmark has witnessed a long running battle between self appointed human rights advocates, and the nationalist Danish Peoples Party.
The Danish police uncovered a plot by two, possibly more, Muslims to murder Westergaard. Getting a conviction has proven to be impossible though, due apparently to the police being unable to reveal the source of their information. Without a conviction throwing one of the two Muslims out of the country (I understand his companion left of his own free will) has also proven impossible, he is innocent until proven guilty after all. He has however been deemed a national threat by the nationalist politicians and they want him placed in a refugee centre where he can be kept under constant surveillance.
The politicians are also trying to introduce a new form of closed courts where the police can get a conviction without having to reveal their sources and operational methods to the media, and general public.
The long and the short is, Westergaard is still alive and as we see now, still antagonistic to the threat posed by extremism.
