Is this, by chance, the NY Times puzzle?

Newspapers? Crossword books?

“Any crossword puzzle buffs noticed this?”

There are a lot of vulgar words used in crossword puzzles if you read the right ones. Major retailers carry adult-only puzzle books like XXX Word Puzzles at Barnes & Noble and Twisted Mind Crosswords at Books A Million. Just gotta find the right business. No different.

Every part of the “creative,” or “literary” sphere, has been infested by the “woke mind virus.” Publishing, movies (of course), video games. Everywhere there are brain-proud young creative types has turned hard left.

“Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

Yes!

I just received a batch of new puzzle books from KAPPA and the HERALD TRIB puzzles as well as the LA TIMES had a number of moslim clues.

I was surprised. Moslims don’t do American crossword puzzles.

There are Christian references in American crosswords. Someone must have complained.

We are just handling the country over.

NYT. For the past 30 years. Every puzzle. Obviously a requirement

It’s why my aunt called it a Muslim rag.

When the crossword is in Arabic, then you should start worrying.

Definitely, especially the Sunday Slimes’.

And not just Islam, but also LGBTQRSTUV, cRap “artists”, etc.

It’s their subliminal way to normalize radical notions.

“Religion whose spiritual leader was a rapist pedophile”

“Religion that believes all non-muslims must be killed.”

“Religion that illiterate dirtbag a-holes follow.”

Hint: Answer is the same.
