Editors Pass on Comic Strip With (http://www.editorandpublisher.com/Headlines/editors-pass-on-comic-strip-with-wheres-muhammad-reference-62849-.aspx - broken link)
a Sunday Non Sequitor comic strip titled "Where's Muhammad" was replaced with a previous edition of the strip. The picture of the strip was like a "Where's Waldo" drawing. Difference is, there was no Muhammad located within the drawing. It was poking fun at the people who fear muslim anger at even drawing Muhammad (see Comedy Central's South Park for example). Even though Muhammad was not drawn in the strip, they still pulled the strip out of fear. Such newspapers show no such fear attacking Repubicans, Christians, or Conservatives but such people won't execute them on the street for insulting them. That behavior is reserved for Muslims alone.
when are the oh-so-enlightened and liberal, artists, pundits, publishers, museums, cartoonists and Tax-payer contributed National Endowment for the Arts planning on displaying works depicting Mohammed engaging in sex acts?
I find it hilariously ironic that the liberals who have no problem denigrating every other group and religion flat out refuse to do or say anything that might "offend" a muslim. Why the sudden about face??
Apparently they cherish their own lives more than exercising their freedom of speech. Yet, it's a religion of peace, right? RIGHT??

Which is, I guess, why the leftie liberals running media and government in pseudo-socialist Scandinavian-welfare-state Denmark backed the Mohammed cartoonists. (Ironically, it was the major business enterprises who tried desperately to keep a lid on things, to save market shares.)

I wonder though, do you think they (liberals running media in Denmark) would do that again given the backlash they received from it? I have to think not, but I'm only speculating. I never thought that our media in the US would kowtow, but they sure did.
I don't think it's right to be purposely offensive to anyone, but I find it even WORSE to pick and choose which groups you (general) are offensive to. What's good for the goose is good for the gander

No worse than MOB muscle and intimidation.
What's wrong with that?
If you don't like it, threaten to kill them. It works.
Which is why newspapers are soon to be past tense. Texas will deal with the Muslim issue. We handled Mexico back in the day, we'll handle Islam.
You're right. Muslims can insult,behead,bomb and kill others,but get their panties in a sweat over cartoon strips or any criticism of their Fictional,invisible and non existent Allah.
No more double standards !!! The media has portrayed Christians,Buddhists,Gays and every ethnic group imaginable in an unflattering light,but Muslims are special and get a pass???
It won't be long before someone comes out with a show or comic strip with a Gay,Pork Eating ,Jew loving Muslim character and then all Hell will break loose.
Miller told Comic Riffs, "I have absolutely no information on why any of the editors chose not to run it. All I can do is surmise that the irony of their being afraid to run a cartoon that satirizes media's knee-jerk reaction to anything involving Islam bounced right of their foreheads. So what they've actually accomplished is, sadly, [to] validate the point."
indeed.
