Did the sun come up in San Francisco today? The liberal media loves Muslims and hates America yet they don't like *anyone* telling them what they can and cannot print. It has been immensely entertaining watching this clash of values among the press.

That the San Francisco Chronicle would bewail disrespect for the sacred with a straight face is a mockery of credulity.

Have the cartoons been posted on FR? Also Have they been shown in US papers or on tv? Where's our freedom of the press?

What basis does the San Francisco Chronicle have for giving serious consideration to:
"the global reaction is far more disturbing than the editors' great lapse in taste and cultural sensitivity"? None.
When, it is entire existence have the editors of that rag ever demonstrated serious consideration to "culteral sensitivity" to the religious sensibilities of a majority of Americans? Never.
Every new event simply provides another occasion for the LameStreamMedia to demonstrate its natural moral state - hypocrisy.

These were the same guys who think portraying the crucifix in a glass of urine is just fine and dandy.
To: CondorFlight
Of course the editors of the SFChronicle can bemoan the cartoon depiction of Mohammed as a terrorist; they do not read about or know the true history of Islam.

Not an editorial, but:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/1995/03/08/DD43307.DTL&hw=serrano+piss+christ&sn=001&sc=1000
....In ``Piss Christ'' (1987) and related works that use religious icons, Serrano equates the persuasive force of highly finished photographs with that of sacred symbols. In that, if anywhere, lies his insult to piety: to suggest that we can no longer distinguish between spiritual response and consumer frisson.
One look at his 10-year retrospective and you can see that whatever people make of it, Serrano's work is a private research into beauty and symbolism, almost academically methodical and neat....

Did someone fail to mention that Islam is a religion of piece.
Cut off a head here and head there and pretty soon no Christians to stand in the way of world domination.

THE CARICATURES of Muhammad that have ignited an international furor are offensive and recklessly off base in portraying the prophet as a terrorist. The cartoons lacked artistic merit or satirical sophistication. We have to wonder: What were the Danish cartoonists and the newspapers that originally decided to publish them thinking?All right, who allowed Achmed into the Chronicle editorial offices?
As a lead-in paragraph for a supposedly adult coomentary on world event this displays a breathless level of ignorance expected only from a rabid sandmaggot.
Where has the writer been the last few years?
In addition to the crime waves in European cities which can be attributed to the imported animals, how about this, as to what they were thinking?

The ignorance of this editorial is glaring.
Hey, editors, read the Koran, Suras and Hadiths and then tell me what you think.
This is the writing of those that have not spent one moment trying to learn about what they write.
To: SmithL
Didn't read the whole article. These nuggets are plenty:
Is nothing sacred? ... recklessly off base in portraying the prophet as a terrorist ... a religion of peace
Is it too much to ask these clowns to actually think before they type?

"recklessly off base in portraying the prophet as a terrorist" Consider the source.

Absolutely NOTHING in Islam-or about it- is sacred.
Especially not life.
Why are people working so hard to find reasons to respect
that which will destroy us?

Censorship, even when unleashed under the well-intentioned guise of sensitivity, has a way of turning into tyranny. No law, of state or religion, should be allowed to become the ultimate arbiter of freedom of expression.And that's the lesson the mohammed followers need to learn.
