[Ralph] Peters: If They Had Any Guts, All U.S. Papers Would Print Muhammad Cartoons

On “America’s Newsroom,” Lt. Col. Ralph Peters (Ret.) reacted to the deadly terror attack on the Paris offices of a satirical newspaper and called out the “cowardly” English-speaking media. […]

Peters said that no publication in the English-speaking world had the guts to take on Islamic fanaticism and mock Islamic fanatics as Charlie Hebdo did.

“The correct response to this attack, by all of us in journalism … if we had guts, those cartoons would be reprinted on the front page of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times tomorrow. They won't be. Brave journalists died and cowardly ones will profit.” …

You know, it seems as if the Jihadis have settled on a new strategy to get max exposure: target journalists. They beheaded a couple and BOOM! Huge news. And here again, top story. I suppose soon the press will need to come to grips with this.

The left continues to look for those illusory “Christian terrorists” while ignoring the hordes on their doorstep. France learned the hard way today; and the attacks on Jews within their borders should have spurred them to act sooner.

We shouldn't hold our breaths waiting for the chicken-shit fops in the American "news" media to publish anti-Mohammad cartoons.

That would offend our President. They are not about to do that.

Key word in that headline is “if”

Thank you Jimmah Carter for Iran.

Obama has been busy releasing terrorists. All terrorist attacks now belong to the Democrat Party.

“The correct response to this attack, by all of us in journalism … if we had guts, those cartoons would be reprinted on the front page of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times tomorrow.

In my estimation the entire point of being politically correct is to avoid offending the easily offended and thus sparking some form of angry response.

In other words conflict avoidance at all cost.

Ergo the gutless, spineless, cowardly wimps will never publish the cartoons.

No. But neither is it a reason TO print them. Look, if Jesse Jackson was murdered for his latest racist rantings, we should all condemn the murder. It would not obligate us to reprint his racist rantings. That’s all I am saying. The cartoons are irrelevant. It is the murder that is relevant.

Somehow I wouldn’t hold my breath.
