Mohamed Cartoons Used as a Pretext for Muslim Terrorism
Seven months after the Mohamed cartoons were courageously published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, members of the “Religion of Peace” continue to use it as a pretext to commit more Muslim terrorism:
You may wonder, after seven months, why the Mohammed Cartoons graphic remains in the top-right corner of this blog. It’s because while most of the dhimmi press may have “moved on,” the jihadists have not. And some of the few outspoken defenders of free speech and free thought who stood up to the thugs still face threats today.
On a side note, it is shameful that most of the American MSM cowardly censored the cartoons in the name of sensitivity. At the height of the Muslim riots I wrote the following letter to the editor of the local newspaper, but they never published it:
The Cowardly American Media? The publication of the cartoons of Islam's founder has triggered widespread violent protests from members of the "religion of peace". A number of European news outlets have published the cartoons in a show of solidarity with those who believe in the right to free speech. The same can not be said of the mainstream American media.
I find it shocking that in the country which codified the right to free speech in its constitution the mainstream American media has censored itself in the name of sensitivity. Where was their sensitivity when CNN's Jeanne Moos was ridiculing images of Jesus Christ or Jonathan Mann was reporting on the Virgin Mary covered in dung*? At best their self-censorship is hypocritical; at worst it is evidence that they have allowed radical Muslims to dictate that their feelings about Islam trump our constitutionally guaranteed rights.
I hope [your newspaper] publishes these newsworthy cartoons which are tame compared to the biting ones that are commonly printed in newspapers around the nation. Not only would publishing them inform their readers, but it would demonstrate that this media outlet has the backbone to stand up to Islamofascists.
