Islam: THE Toon WaPO Too Afraid to Run

Pathetic capitulation to Islam. Staggering. The news does not run the news it makes the news. The cartoon jihad worked in ways little imagined last year.

Washington Post, Other Newspapers Won't Run 'Opus' Cartoon Mocking Radical Islam  FOX

A popular comic strip that poked fun at the Rev. Jerry Falwell without incident one week ago was deemed too controversial to run over the weekend because this time it took a humorous swipe at Muslim fundamentalists.

The Washington Post and several other newspapers around the country did not run Sunday's installment of Berkeley Breathed's "Opus," in which the spiritual fad-seeking character Lola Granola appears in a headscarf and explains to her boyfriend, Steve, why she wants to become a radical Islamist.

Sources told FOXNews.com that the strips were shown to Muslim staffers at The Washington Post to gauge their reaction, and they responded "emotionally" to the depiction of a woman dressed in traditional Muslim garb and espousing conservative Islamic views.

A very simple equation:

Offend Christians, Christians practice their core tenet of forgiveness.

Offend Muslims, Muslims practice their core tenet of murderous threats followed by murder.

As Winston Churchill once said, "Appeasers are people that continue to feed the tiger, hoping they will be eaten last." Wearing a headscarf, hopefully.

Yesterday, at one of the four-year colleges of the City University of New York, they were taking photos for student ID's. A 'coed' walked into the room in a black burka, everything covered, even her fingertips. I did'nt stick around to witness the ensuing insane conversation, wherein some poor dhimmi would try to convince this moron of the necessity of uncovering her face. She is being educated (largely at NYC expense), in order to be prepared to enter the 21st century, but is proud to ram her 4th century enslavement down our throats. The situation is bad, and getting worse by the month. Total complete insanity and capitulation.
