If the Santa Fe Reporter really wants to be edgy and courageous, why don't they grow a freaking pair and depict Muhammad in a Speedo?

[AtlasStalled]

Really offensive. Not a smart move by the paper. A lot of devout Catholics in the Santa Fe area.

"If the Santa Fe Reporter really wants to be edgy and courageous, why don't they grow a freaking pair and depict Muhammad in a Speedo?"

We all know the answer to that - they are cowards. When Christians are offended by things like this, the media say in lockstep - lighten up, live with it, freedom of speech, blah blah blah. But if there is some similar offense directed at Muslims, they jump to the defense of the Muslims. So, in conclusion - the msm hate Christians and are dhimmies for Muslims.

Tasteless.

Not a good idea since there are A LOT of devout Spanish-speakiing Catholics in the area.

A couple people wrote comments for another article about Santa Fe being a liberal cesspool. Looks like the Santa Fe Reporter agreed.

This is actually a takeoff of the old liberal/leftist publication “The Realist” of Phil Krasner (1960’s). Totally irreverant satire from the Left, but actually funny.

Today’s leftist “satire” is a direct attack on organized religion and comes from an anarchist/marxist perspective, not from any intellectual basis.

At least Krasner had a sense of humor. The last time I saw him was at the Counter-Inaugural demonstration in Jan. 1969 when a Yippie challenged him to take off his clothes, an offer he refused. I think he saved our eyesight by doing so.

Disgusting

[DoughtyOne]

Imagine that paper allowing an insult to Blacks, Homosexuals, Islamic adherents, Women, and on and on...

But of course, it’s okay to trash Christians, their beliefs, or anything they hold sacred.

My but the Left sure is tolerant. /s

try that with a koran you pussies

"the image reflected diversity"

So they claim. A moronic assertion - it reflected only the anti-Catholic bias of the newspaper and its readers. That's "diversity"?

[NurdlyPeon]

Another one of those threads where I don’t have to say anything other than ‘see the tag line’.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Imagine the hilarity were someone with artistry to make a fake cover depicting just that, and distributing it around?

Somebody did a crude image of something like that.

Posted thread from earlier this week:

Newspaper's online image called 'blasphemous' [Catholics / Lady of Guadalupe]

[Monkey Face]

The chickens will come home to roost. Our Lady will not be mocked.

For comparison:

...refused to apologize because....the offensive image reflected diversity

Mocking Christian iconography while not daring to even contemplate doing anything similarly offensive to Muslims doesn't "reflect diversity," it reflects across-the-board moral cowardice.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Some Catholics should behead the artist. Maybe then they would be more sensitive? I mean it works for Muslims, right?
