The real world imitates cartoons 

Gateway Pundit compares the putatively incendiary Danish cartoons with photographs from the actually incendiary news. In a world where truth is a defense, his post would be evocative. Unfortunately, that world is in retreat with the setting of the Enlightenment's sun.

While you are at GatewayPundit check out the
posts on these two stories:

French Resistance MAY BE RISING!
And they have a " bigger set" than the NYT's who only picks
on those who do not make habit of behaving badly.

French Print New Cartoon - Muslims Outraged! - Chirac Sweats


Muslim Leaders lose court battle to stifle free speech in France,

The French weekly, Charlie-Hebdo, adds new fuel to "cartoon controversy" willing to go to where most US papers would not dare.

Charlie-Hebdo takes it up a notch...

The French Paper Charlie-Hebdo bears the headline "Mohammed stressed out by the fundamentalists" and a cartoon of the prophet in tears uttering the words "It's hard to be loved by fools." (AFP)

Hypocrisy on Parade: Times Runs Photo of Dung-Clotted “Virgin Mary”

Just yesterday the Times wrote in an editorial on the Danish cartoons of Mohammad that “The New York Times and much of the rest of the nation's news media have reported on the cartoons but refrained from showing them. That seems a reasonable choice for news organizations that usually refrain from gratuitous assaults on religious symbols, especially since the cartoons are so easy to describe in words.”

Apparently the Arts pages didn’t get the memo, because it runs a photo of Chris Ofili’s dung-clotted “Holy Virgin Mary” in Wednesday’s Arts section story by Michael Kimmelman, who calls the Danish cartoons “callous and feeble.”

This is the most striking example yet of the double standard by the Times when it comes to art that offends religious sensibilities.


Gateway Pundit also post on the NYT's.

Any chance that the NYT's is also rising - trying to get Christians
to burn news stands - to prove all cultures are equal!
