Once again, this time by the New York Times, it has been proven that the only group that it is politically correct to bash or offend is Christians. They turn the other cheek and forgive those who trespass, rather than behead and bomb, or storm newspaper offices to murder and maim.
That much was admitted by New York Times editor for standards Phil Corbett in defending the newspaper’s decision to publish Monday a picture of Pope Benedict XVI fashioned out of condoms, after being among those that refused to publish the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Mohammed that prompted a murderous attack on the offices of the French satirical magazine in Paris, murdering 10 journalists and two police officers. As Corbett told the Washington Examiner:
“I don't think these situations -- the Milwaukee artwork and the various Muhammad caricatures -- are really equivalent. For one thing, many people might disagree, but museum officials clearly consider this Johnson piece to be a significant artwork”
“Also, there's no indication that the primary intent of the portrait is to offend or blaspheme (the artist and the museum both say that it is not intended to offend people but to raise a social question about the fight against AIDS). And finally, the very different reactions bears this out," he added. "Hundreds of thousands of people protested worldwide, for instance, after the Danish cartoons were published some years ago. While some people might genuinely dislike this Milwaukee work, there doesn't seem to be any comparable level of outrage.”

The New York Times editorial board is well aware that Christians and Catholics aren’t going to behead them for festooning portraits of Jesus or the pope with rubbers. - No, what their really afraid of is having to pay out millions in damages to victims families when the religion of peace brownshirts shoot up the place for doing the same to the “profit of islam”
I would be shocked if the NYT ever produced an article about the Church that wasn’t antichrist in its reporting,
Evidence there are way to many believers asleep in America for this paper to exist still set on its lofty pedestal.
