It may be that the head honcho in charge who gave the order WAS an American or Brit? :)

"...most contend the cartoons are too offensive to run..."

Most of the original cartoons are certainly not "too offensive" to run. I'm going to post some of them on my web site.

(I heard that some Imam distributed some additional cartoons (not from the original Danish guy) that were quite offensive, in order to inflame the issue.)

Thank Al Gore for that!

***We cannot thank Al Gore for his defending our Freedom of Speech Rights!

This is a defining moment in world history time:
Cartoonists, and others, are threatened with death by Muslims. MEDIA and "Liberals" too cowardly to speak-out.

NEAT! We know who to trust and who to distrust!

But they will post the cartoon of a war veteran with no arms or legs and blame Rumsfield for it.
Typical and sad in this country, I hate to say it this country is so divided. One for the future of the US and the other to bring it down. My grandfather who faught in WWII should be glad he has passed.

Good. A wise and responsible move by our press.

Whether one believes in the truth or validity of the Muslim religion, one should respect that others beleive in it and respect their belief. The Cartoon is a disgrace. The Cartoonist deserves severe public criticism.

I say this as someone who is no fan of Mohammed or the religion he founded.

I've been around a long time - my childhood during WWII.
I truly cannot believe how our society is disevolving. I cannot believe how hard working middle-class Americans tolerate the traitorous and vile ideological politicians in our present congress and those who have endured in the MEDIA.

Well now, I equally oppose the Muslim response, though it was foolish of Europe to so incite them.

My problem is with the double standard.

Where were these people when Islamist heads of State called Judaism a gutter religion and a religion for pigs, or when a crucifix was placed in a bottle of urine in a museum exhibition,or the Madonna was portrayed covered with doo doo?

I am opposed to censorship. This whole business should have been stopped when the Islamo-Fascist Ayatollahs and Mullahs of Iran declared a Fatwah against SALMON RUSHDIE for writing a book stating they should kill him wherever they found him. Who came to his defense? Not Great Britain where he is a citizen, and not JIMMY CARTER!

The guvschools are SO over regulated.

However, this would go into textbooks only when the P*ss Christ does.
