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.
