The New York Times and Marilyn Manson?
More on "the cartoons"...
"What do The New York Times and Marilyn Manson have in Common?", asks Doug Giles in his TownHall.com column:
"Let me see if I get this right: in smarmy, liberal America-ville, it’s cool to celebrate a painting of the virgin Mary covered in dung, a picture of Jesus marinating in urine, a play in which Jesus is depicted as gay and TV shows and movies that mock Christ and Christianity; but it is uncool to run a Danish cartoon slamming Islam’s irrational rage, because that would be a “gratuitous assault” on the Muslim religion? Well, cock-a-doodle-do."
"Case in point: the quickly-approaching-cheap-toilet-paper status New York Times has decided to refrain from running anything that might be offensive to Muslims, while it bends over backwards to backhand Christians. How conveeeeeenient."
