If it's the same picture I'm thinking about, it didn't show muhameds face, only his back. It did show the face of Jesus, so they're safe, and they know it.

Chickenshit homos! LOL!

"Let's be brave and controversial, but don't show Mohammeds face. My head is FABULOUS and I'd like to keep it!"

Completely gutless and cowardly. In true form, courtesy of the University of Toronto's finest.

Gee... who will it be... fanatical Muslims or Christians?

Nah, did you notice the cartoonist made sure not to depict Mohammed's face as is the Islamic tradition, and the one who is doing the gay kissing is Jesus? So it's more attuned to ridiculing Christians than Muslims. Such a liberal university has no qualms violating the limits of free speech when it comes to making a mockery of Christianity.

Thanks for posting the graphic, lunarbicep.

I guess it's 'ok', tolerant, to show Jesus kissing another man. But the cowardly cartoonist concealed Mohammed's face. If it is indeed Mohammed, who could be sure? He's left himself an out. Ok to offend Muslims and Christians, but if the Muslims complain too loudly, just back away from the identity of the man in Arab dress.

I saw the tatoo of the crescent moon, and star.

Certainly showing the Islam sign. I just think the whole thing is absurd.

It still drives me nuts with the use of the word tolerance. In the words of Archbishop Sheen, nothing good comes from the word tolerance. It only perpetuates an evil:

Toleratio est permissio negativa mali.

Translated to being: Tolerance is a negative permission of evil.

SO, what actually was the intended discussion that was supposed to occur? (Other than the one debating whether these students really belong in college.)

There's no substantive discussion to be had...Just a display of religious intolerance by the newspapers themselves. "We're printing this, because we can"

No kidding, and people resent you for it, "because we can"

The student newspaper (The Strand) that printed the cartoon has a poll up on it.

Currently, (as of 2/21/2006 at the time of this post), 50% were offended by the cartoon and another 18% were opposed to the idea of printing the cartoon (not offended but opposed to the idea of printing the cartoon).

Only 28% viewed a favorable opinion of printing the cartoon and that was broken down into a 12% category and an 18% category.

Another 4% did not understand the cartoon. I will try to post a link to the article to this Freeper thread, so other people can view the poll.

Here is the link to the article in the newspaper and the cartoon. The web page probably has SPYWARE, so be warned before you click on it. (Not a nice friendly Freerepublic web page).

The Title of the ARTICLE is: TO PRINT OR NOT PRINT. Link is below.

THE STRAND - HOME EDITORIAL PAGE - To Print or Not to Print - http://media.www.thestrand.ca/media/paper404/news/2006/02/16/Editorial/To.Print.Or.Not.To.Print-1614362.shtml?sourcedomain=www.thestrand.ca&MIIHost=media.collegepublisher.com

REMEMBER - THIS IS NOT A FREEREPUBLIC LINK BUT A LINK TO THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE ABOUT THE CONTROVERSY...
