"Oh yeah, hats off to the Philadelphia Inquirer. They had the news sense to know the cartoon was part of the story."

I was impressed that Hannity showed the 'bomb in the turbin' cartoon the other night.

Has anyone heard that the outrage is over cartoons that we haven't seen? I heard that those depict beastiality and that is what all the furor is about. Is this true?

When newspapers shield truth, these types of rumors takes hold. Rumors that can enflame hatreds.

If newspapers had run the cartoons - and said "this is what Muslim's find offensive", rumors about "bestiality" wouldn't have appeared.

Censorship, self censorship based on fear, is one of the reasons for ME paronoia.

The American MSM should not apply Muslim standards to Western reporting.

It's shameful. Too much like CNN working hand in hand with Saddam's goons to keep stuff out of the news. Totally shameful.
