Yale University Press is set to publish a new book on the 2005 controversy over the publication of 12 cartoons in a Danish newspaper that satirically depicted the Prophet Muhammad. However, the New York Times reports today that the book, titled The Cartoons That Shook the World, by Jytte Klausen, a Danish-born professor of politics at Brandeis University, will lack one important element: the cartoons themselves.

Glad to hear it actually! Yale Univ Press will lose big bucks without the cartoons. They’re the friggin point. Incredible how these libtards think...incredible.
Ivy League cowards.
However, any image or cartoon which ridicules, mocks or blasphemes Jesus Christ, Son of Almighty God Himself, will be not only included, but commended by the authors.
All the finest terrorists choose Yale for their PhDs.
The sad part about this story is:
1) Yale will never admit the reason they won’t publish the cartoons in a book about the cartoons is that they are afraid of Islam.
2) Yale would never hesitate to publish offensive cartoons if they targeted Jews or Christians.
OTOH,it will lose a lot of prestige on this book. It's like publishing a book on human anatomy without including any diagrams or images of a human body or parts thereof.
They should have withdrawn the book in its current state IMO.
Publishers who just love to bully authors are very easily bullied themselves. Lawyers and pressure groups do it every day.
Wow, what a bunch of pussies.
I understand Ha-ahvud is publishing a new translation of the Holy Bible. While Jesus won’t be mentioned, He will be described in a brief appendix so the reader will know what the otherwise incomprehensible references are about.
