Yale University Press Censors Harmless Muhammad Cartoons
Written By : Dave Blount

Don’t be too hard on media outlets too craven to publish the tepid Danish cartoons that Muslims used as a thin pretext to intimidate dhimmis. True, it was impossible for them to do their job without letting us see for ourselves that the cartoons were nothing any sane person would riot over. But there are others just as cowardly. Yale University Press, for example:

Yale University has removed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad from an upcoming book about how they caused outrage across the Muslim world, drawing criticism from prominent alumni and a national group of university professors.

Yale cited fears of violence.

But… but… I thought Islam was the Religion of Peace.

Yale University Press, which the university owns, removed the 12 caricatures from the book “The Cartoons That Shook the World” by Brandeis University professor Jytte Klausen. The book is scheduled to be released next week. …

Islamic law generally opposes any depiction of the prophet, even favorable, for fear it could lead to idolatry.

The execrable New York Slimes, Washington Compost, and Los Angeles Slimes also shrank from the publishing the innocuous cartoons, although the NY Slimes did muster the courage to publish “Piss Christ” and a portrait of the Virgin Mary covered in elephant dung and vaginas cut out of porno magazines. At least the media and academia can redeem themselves for their cowardice and obsequious dhimmitude by boldly bashing Christianity at every possible opportunity.

    Let me get this straight: they're not allowing the "offensive" cartoons to be published in a book about how they caused riots? Well, so much for intellectual courage and historical detail. Why not just write "Some people got mad about some things. The End" and have done with it?

    I suppose those in control at the Yale Press will make marvelous dhimmis. They're obedient, obsequious, and toady, which is just what Muslims are seeking in dhimmis. Especially odd to see this in a country which was more "don't tread on me" and "don't fence me in" until fifteen years ago. Now, apparently, some of us can't wait until we can supplicate to the Muslim masters and kiss the hem of their kaftans in the hopes that they don't get angry with us.

    Bah.

    Damnit.

    In fairness to Yale, they did express interest in displaying Piss Christ at their art gallery, and of course lauded their own courage in doing so.
