...aren’t these the same newspapers suing to print pictures of dead US soldiers?
How long before Berkley gets a fatwa issued by some unshaven, sweaty sheik shrieking like Bill the Cat ‘allllllaaaahhh AAAACCKKKKbar’?!?

Ya’ know, it has not been too long since the rug-rider street went all ballistic over a cartoon with an out-house drawn in it. Seems the camel-pokers assumed the crescent moon on the door was a direct insult to their cult. Of course once they are in full bray, you cannot convince them that outhouses have been portrayed like that for a lo-o-o-ong time.
The cult of islam must be eradicated.
I don’t think there is any way to denegrate Islam enough.
Ya don’t see Christians running around killing folks just because they aren’t your type of Christian or non Christians.
Newspapers are more than willing to print government secrets and keep a precise count of war deaths (of ours, not theirs).
But a risque comic strip and they’re all, “Oh noes, stop the presses!”
If the topic of this cartoon were about Christians or Jews you can bet it would be printed and defended on the basis of free speech.
It’s up. They just haven’t changed the home page link yet.

There’s only one real response to this kind of self-censorship and self-loathing. We must, as a people, rise up and mock Islam fearlessly and forcefully.
We can start with their self-righteous worldview that it is good behavior to stifle speech when they’re annoyed. We can show cartoons where women in burkas flash that they’re wearing thongs and bikinis underneath. We can show confused Moslems in a fast-moving space shuttle trying to determine the direction to Mecca as it changes from second to second. Zippy the Pinhead can welcome Islamic terrorists to a barbecue featuring ribs and beer. Above all, mock them with their own stupidity, like the Palestinians who tried to set up a car bomb but refused to switch over to Israeli daylight savings time, thereby killing themselves instead when the bomb went off one hour early.
I’m doing my part to make sure that anytime sometime tells me about Islamic tradition, I remind them this is a religion where people are forced to walk around a meteorite several times at least once a lifetime, and it’s founder had sex with a nine-year-old girl. I also like the idea that homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia, but it isn’t considered homosexuality as long as the guy on the bottom acts like a woman.
Think of this as the Cheyanne would, as “counting coup.” Every mocking comment, every cheap laugh, every nasty joke, is just another light touch to remind them of their own inadequecy.
thanks. :)
