Entry: Of Prophets, Priests, and Pansies Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/of_prophets_priests_and_pansies#3942 Post contents: Lester, you seem to be missing the point: <i>It wasn't about Islam</i>. Are you seriously suggesting that Muslims are so sensitive that they would perpetrate violence over a cartoonist poking fun at a ditzy non-Muslim girl in a comic strip? Here's a quote from the <i>Editor & Publisher</i> piece that I linked to: "Shearer told E&P that WPWG checked with a couple of Islamic experts to see if the 'Opus' strips might be offensive, and they said the comics were OK." Your reaction is <i>precisely</i> the kind of behavior that I criticized the editors for. If this is what our "free press" amounts to, then we might as well hand the country over to the Islamists now, rather than after a struggle. Sent at: 2008 12 02
