Cowardly Daily Mail blacks out Muhammad cartoons in story on shooting


From Atlas Shrugs:
This is the problem with the West today. This is why the West is in such serious trouble. This is the cowardice and pusillanimity that rule the day. 
The Daily Mail is generally clueless, but this is much, much worse than that. This only shows the jihadis that violent intimidation works. Threats and murder work. 
To kowtow to that is the opposite of journalism and what journalism is supposed to be. If there were still a substantial number of free people in Britain, this would be the end of the Daily Mail. It would be losing readers by the thousands. But it won’t be. 
Note also the headline — an “anti-Muslim event.” Muslims who reject the assassination of cartoonists should be standing with us. 
Muslims who claim to reject jihad terror should be standing with us. The fact that there are none who dare to break ranks and stand with us should be illuminating to careful observers.
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.
