The editors of the Washington Post exercised their right of craven poltroonery last weekend by not publishing a very mildly satirical cartoon about Muhammad.
From the Annals of Dhimmitude:
What is clever about last Sunday’s “Where’s Muhammad?” comic is that the prophet [sic] does not appear in it.
Still, Style editor Ned Martel said he decided to yank it, after conferring with others, including Executive Editor Marcus W. Brauchli, because “it seemed a deliberate provocation without a clear message.” He added that “the point of the joke was not immediately clear” and that readers might think that Muhammad was somewhere in the drawing.
Would they have published a cartoon that did have a clear – but offensive – message? Obviously not.
I thought you made “poltroonery” up.
This has now been duly logged in my “must use at next available opportunity” along with the “curate’s egg”.
ps It goes without saying the premise of your post is without question….
Boy people are becoming afraid of their own shadows!
That’s what happens when people don’t stand up against violence. The “bullies” end up winning. In this case it means that the muslims win, and everyone else looses.
That cartoon is hilarious!
