From Atlas Shrugs:
I understand their fear, but my question to all of these cowards is, isn't the alternative more frightening? Isn't the ascension of sharia and blasphemy laws more frightening than publishing a silly toon? Isn't the silencing of free men a scarier prospect than the whole of the global jihad?
Isn't freedom worth fighting for? Worth dying for? How dare they so casually relinquish that which our fathers, grandfathers and founding fathers fought so hard and died for.
Someone said that if you trade freedom for peace you get neither -- or something along those lines. True that.
Editors Pass on Comic Strip With ‘Where’s Muhammad?’ Reference Editor and
PublisherSome editors opted not to run Sunday’s “Non Sequitur” comic strip, which included a “Where’s Muhammad?” reference, according to The Washington Post’s “Comic Riffs” blog.
Wayne Miller’s strip on Sunday depicted a scene in a park with a variety of characters, with the caption, “Picture book title voted least likely to ever find a publisher: ‘Where’s Muhammad?’”
Some 20 papers, including the Portland Press Herald and the Boston Globe — both of which “Non Sequitur” Wiley Miller reads — opted to run a Sunday replacement strip featuring the recurring character Obvious-Man. "Non Sequitur" is syndicated by Universal UClick.
The Washington Post ran the strip online Sunday, but not in its print edition.

As we edge ever closer to outright censorship, I don't suppose it matters to these cowards on editorial boards that when Obamullah endorses the binding resolution the OIC will have finally shoved through the UN there will be little left to do to assure that we never, ever, "insult" Islam.
Which, of course, is doing the impossible anyway.
Very surprisingly, our newspaper, no conservative bastion, ran it.
Currently hanging on our fridge, along with the Peanuts from this Sunday, Snoopy being chased by leaves.
Because that's my Jack Russell.
