The cartoons are the story. Does anyone believe if they weren't dealing with such a PC and lethal group as the Mohammedans the cartoons wouldn't be published?
As others have noted in various threads, this editorial timorousness was nowhere in evidence when "Piss Christ" was all the hip buzz and was widely reproduced in print. (Seems like it might have even been a cover story for one of the weekly news mags???)
