The Boston Globe is run by Communists.

[Semper Paratus]

Every week on the editorial page there is a Bush cartoon more offensive then anything published about the Prophet.

[thoughtomator]

The only reason I can think of is that their real motivation is even more embarrassing: Fear. They are backing down, kowtowing to threats from Muslims, not out of respect, but out of cowardice. The Boston Globe doesn't have the courage to stand for free speech.

I can think of another, equally plausible reason: The Boston Globe, property of the NY Times, is on the side of our enemies and is making the enemy's argument for him for that reason.

""Depicting Mohammed wearing a turban in the form of a bomb with a sputtering fuse is no less hurtful to most Muslims than Nazi caricatures of Jews or Ku Klux Klan caricatures of blacks"

Wish I had quick access to the Boston Globe's caricatures relating to the Catholic Church. They are numerous and are absolutely insulting to Catholics; and that's why the Globe's readership is dwindling faster than Ted Kennedy's rum bottle. Boston Globe writers and cartoonists are the experts on insulting Catholics, and are the ultimate hypocrites.

[NautiNurse]

I'll wager the Boston Globe editors are more worried about violent Muslim retaliation rather than lofty, hypocritical principles.

[Izzy Dunne]

That's quite a leap of logic to get from:
"Depicting Mohammed wearing a turban in the form of a bomb with a sputtering fuse is no less hurtful to most Muslims than Nazi caricatures of Jews or Ku Klux Klan caricatures of blacks are to those victims of intolerance.

to:
therefore cartoonists who offend Muslims are Nazis

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

I'll bet the Globe opposed the cuts subsidizing the "art" that included human waste, urine and Christian religious symbols.

[Noachian]

That is why the Danish cartoons will not be reproduced on these pages."

No, that's not the reason.

The real reason is the Globe won't pick fight with those who will find their homes and kill their families.

The Boston Globe is run by disreputable pigs.

We have pried open the soft underbelly of the beast!

Don't stop now!

DRAW MORE CARTOONS!!!

Then the world will begin to see this trash for the Nazis that they are.

DRAW MORE CARTOONS!!!

ALL ARTISTS TO THEIR PALLETTES!

Danish bloggers are having a field day...

[bvw]

OMG, the Globe has become accessory to murder and riot.

[kenavi]

Why bother with all these analogies, which don't even approach the truth of this unique situation?

The truth is that avowed followers of Mohammed are slashing people's throats, filming, and displaying it, targeting innocents, and there are no mass protests by their fellow Moslems condemning it.

But when a cartoonist condemns what they are doing via a crudely sketched stick figure that he labels "Mohammed", suddenly the Moslems are up in arms over a "desecration".

That is what the Globe and other media should be decrying.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

I'll bet the cowards in Boston.....not just in the Globe....will begin to buy Korans and carry them as protection.

For myself......an extra day at the range and double up on ammo.

When the stuff hits the fan...I'll be ready to respond in kind!

Muslims in Europe have already killed.....once they get the taste of blood, there's no stopping the rabid curs.

If Europe had retained it's Christian heritage, the ships would be loading Muzzies now for a one-way deportation to the homeland!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Slim sez: "BOSTON GLOBE=DHIMMIS"

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

This all makes me want to be a cartoonist!!

[F16Fighter]

Seems The Boston Globe is quite selective about "free speech."

Marxist hypocritical rag.

[TheCrusader]

The Boston Globe are a bunch of hypocrites.

This cartoon, run by the Boston Globe in 2004, is a vicious attack on the Catholic Church. It depicts a nun beating a young Mel Gibson to a bloody pulp. It's odious message is that nuns are brutal, the Church is based on bloodshed, and Gibson concieved his idea for his beautiful movie, “The Passion”, because he was abused. The cartoon insults the Catholic Church and its Divine Founder, Jesus Christ, about as deeply as anyone can. The caption reads:

"In his early school days, little Mel Gibson gets beaten to a bloody pulp by Sister Dolorosa Excruciata of the Little Sisters of the Holy Agony, and an idea is born."

"Depicting Mohammed wearing a turban in the form of a bomb with a sputtering fuse is no less hurtful to most Muslims than Nazi caricatures of Jews or Ku Klux Klan caricatures of blacks are to those victims of intolerance. That is why the Danish cartoons will not be reproduced on these pages."

"..and we now return you to our regular pictorial coverage of a crucifix marinating in urine."

The Globe attempts to pass off their moral cowardice as sanctimonious high-mindedness. These people are absolute scum.

[sheik yerbouty]

I'll take that seriously when they declare Ted Kennedy to be a murderer..

"Depicting Mohammed wearing a turban in the form of a bomb with a sputtering fuse is no less hurtful to most Muslims than Nazi caricatures of Jews or Ku Klux Klan caricatures of blacks are to those victims of intolerance. That is why the Danish cartoons will not be reproduced on these pages."

The Boston Glob can CRAM it.

I can be certain that they never denounced racist caricatures of Condelezza Rice and may have run some themselves. Did they denounce those left leaning publications as Klannish or Nazi?

What's more, the Boston Glob ran discredited porn website photos as "evidence" (fake but accurate) of US soldiers "raping" "Iraqi women". The arab street got upset by these images (while the America was being hit 24/7 by SeeBS and NYetTimes coverage of the genuine Abu Ghraib images). Those pictures (the fake ones) and the US media "outrage" over the genuine ones contributed to the climate that saw Nick Berg decapitated (he was kidnapped before the story broke, he was already a hostage).

It is quite clear that the Boston Glob is run by useful idiots and has abandoned this country.
