New York Daily News pixelates Muhammad cartoon in story about Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre
Jihad Watch ^ | 1/7/15 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 01/07/2015 12:32:44 PM PST by BlatherNaut

Do these fools at the Daily News think that they will be spared? Do they think that if they adopt Sharia blasphemy laws forbidding mockery or criticism of Muhammad, that they will avoid the jihad onslaught? And if they adopt Sharia restrictions on freedom of expression of their own accord, does it even matter if they are spared?

The free press is dying of a self-inflicted wound. Now is the time for every newspaper in the world to republish Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons of Muhammad, in solidarity with the jihad murder victims and as a show of defiance — a signal that we will protect free speech and free societies.

But this will not happen. Instead, watch for more pusillanimity, more temporizing, more denial that this had anything to do with Islam, and more calls for “respect” for “religious sensibilities” — i.e., the placement of Islam in a protected category, above criticism.

Why Yes. Yes they do.

But Just as Neville Chamberlain learned, if you will not fight them in the Sudentenland, you will have to fight them at the Bulge.

All the newsies are sufficiently terrorized. This could happen at any time in NYC,especially now that the NYPD has backed off immediately answering calls.

Thank you, Mayor DiBlasioo!

Don't expect these newspapers will either once the Islamists get into power.

As I recall Chamberlain became a supporter of Churchill
and did what he could to bolster the war effort...

Not to worry. The New York City newsmen can just exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights and bring their own personal firearms with them to work in their New York City offices and protect themselves.

(oh ... never mind)

Some people should not be protected. Some OTHER people should not endanger themselves to protect muslim enablers either.

I’ve been watching FOX all day long, and you can see the fear in their eyes and in their body language.

Is Bratton ready for this?

OK, they have a legitimate fear of the ragheads, but this is handing them one more victory.

Fourth amendment fell (literally on 9-11-01)—now here comes the First.

After Hitler’s forces entered Poland that September, Chamberlain officially declared war on Germany; this declaration came shortly after the invasion, but his slight delay in making this announcement negatively impacted Chamberlain’s popularity.

While he saw Britain through the early days of the war, Chamberlain found himself on the political decline. He resigned on May 10, 1940, and was succeeded by Winston Churchill as prime minister. Still Chamberlain remained a member of Churchill’s cabinet. By that October, however, he was too ill with cancer to continue his work. Chamberlain died on November 9, 1940, in Heckfield (near Reading), Hampshire, England.

Wikipedia says it was “bowel cancer” — I had thought it was pancreatic. Either way it was apparently quite painful. I believe he realized how profoundly he had failed and that that contributed to his illness.

I made a comment in another section that we can rest assured that our MSM lilly-livered spineless MSM minions will not even think of printing that cartoon.

And - of course - the supposition was correct.
