The same newspaper has refused to publish the Muhammed cartoons which have sparked worldwide riots, murders, and calls to impose the death penalty on all who blaspheme by misunderstanderers of the Religion of Peace.
Here is how they hypocritically defend not showing the Muhammed cartoons, but showing big gay Jesus:
But was it really freedom of the press, or a case of media martyrdom? Publishing these cartoons seems to do little more than fan the flames of already-existing controversy. Is it the press's responsibility to decide what people should absorb, or is providing an option more important? Articles are somewhat different; you can decide whether or not to read something based on the headline - which, admittedly, is questionable on the subject of giving audiences agency. A graphic or photograph, however, is much more intense: you don't really have the choice to view it or not.Right.

Related from Publius Pundit via Michelle Malkin. Incidentally, I lived in Russia for a time and the newspapers often contain nude women. So, it's okay to have a centerfold in your newspaper but it's not okay to offend Muslims?

One more stray thought: Doesn't this particular image at least symbolically equate Mohammed with Judas? It's not as though this cartoon is the first place where Jesus has been kissed, ya know.

Whoa. Deep thoughts.

Insulting just a group or community isn't ok. You should rather insult everybody you can.
One more reason why it's Canadian is the "promotion" (lack of a better word, sorry) of homosexuality. University papers seems to seek every opportunity to give gay exposure.
I got to move away from this country...

Just be sure to end up in a red state. You won't find much difference between Ottawa and Connecticut.

I think the kind of person I am, and, from what I read here, the kind of most persons here are less and less present. That's sad, because in my opinion it's not a question of beleives or religion, it's a question of COMMON SENSE. But in the world we are living, if you yell, burn or kill, you most likely win everything.
Here in Canada, and especially in Québec, you can't joke on the following subjects:
- Gay;
- Ethnicity;
- Religion (exeption made of Christianity); and
- Women's rights.
The only people left laughing at are Catholic heterosexual white men aged between 18 to 60.
Why? Because no one complain.
I'm tired of all that sh.t

I recommend Texas if you like lots of different kinds of people, or Northwest Arkansas if you want to live in a WASP region. Conservative Catholics are seen as WASPs in Arkansas, as they basically think alike. I am currently working in the Conway, Arkansas, area and it is pretty nice with proximity to Little Rock. I am from West Texas(Abilene), but have to follow the oil and gas business, as that is what I work in. There is a huge new natural gas discovery in the Conway area, and the economy is booming here and all over NW Arkansas. Texas is down a little economically, at least for us oil patch guys.
I'm sure Tennessee is nice, and many of the Midwest and western states are great, too, but I'm just telling you about what I know. So come on to the US, Max, we need good guys like you.

Yes, I was surprised that the majority of Muslims in Iraq, the Shiites won, I was expecting the Christians to win, or at least the Freemasons.

They want to appear tough on the "issue" which is why they singled out JESUS. This passes for courage among liberals and leftists.
Fine with me - but hey islamists! They are just being coy and jerking your chain! This not only is a cartoon portrayal of Mohammed - he is being presented as homosexual and submissive to Chistianity. So if you want to drive a truck bomb thru their front door - knock yourself out - they are no kin of mine.

I already tought about moving to the States. Much better weather than here, and when I was thinking of joining the army 9 years ago, I knew that I would have more opportunity to go oversea.
Rusty: I think your server was attacked by those e-jihads fuc.ers yesterday, around 1400 and 1600 eastern time...
Did you got any problems with it?

When i see 2 religious Icons together they better have swords in their hands!
How about Muhammad and Jesus beheading Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny?

Second, in first century Palestine kissing persons of the same sex was a common form of greeting and not associated with homosexuality.
Third, cowboy hats would have been an amusing touch but would have interfered with the elegant ambiguity of the cartoon as it stands.
Fourth, I am not offended. I expect everyone is relieved to hear that.

I hear you, but may I point you that they (in the cartoon) are in a swan going trough the "tunnel of tolerance"?
It's not just the kissing, it's the context.
I'm not offended by a cartoon. I'm offended by the context of things. (Sorry for the bad English).
