Indicative of racism?
I’ve been pondering the reasons why some media outlets have refused to run the Mohammed cartoons. The only reason I can conclude is that they’re pussies. See, they’d trot out pictures of Kanye West as Jesus or Piss Christ or whatever else may offend Western religious groups without batting an eye. Why is that? Is it because offending Christians rarely results in mass riots, firebombing buildings and stoning people? I think so. I think they either fear more riots or, more likely, themselves becoming targets of this zealous nonsense. I think their refusal may be racist.
That is not to say that all Muslims are violent and prone to such things. Of course, some Christian folks have been known to firebomb abortion clinics.
Update: And to be clear, the allegation of racism is meant to be snarky. But the allegation that they’re pussies is not.

The media censors way too much..especially in the days of the internet, when a simple google search can find most of this stuff.
