After consulting security experts and Islam scholars, Mr. Perry said the company decided “to postpone publication for the safety of the author, employees of Random House, booksellers and anyone else who would be involved in distribution and sale of the novel.

Score another win for the Islamofascist Terrorist everywhere.

His possible strategy: he’d begged them to convict him, and that was what led Canada’s so-called “Human Rights Council” to realize that it’d be better to acquit him (Hat tip: Hot Air)…

The reason for not showing the drawings to the sensitive eyes of the American public was nothing other than pure unadulterated cowardice hiding behind multiple banners of political correctness. These same banners did not unfurl for the Piss Christ that got big time attention as ‘culture’ in the NYT which is sufficient proof that the fear of an impending fatwa can generate self censorship in these parodies of free expression.

In Canada at least one national magazine did publish the cartoons but with 10 times the population not one brave national newspaper had the guts to face down the phantom PC police in the U.S. where there is not even the threat of ‘Human Rights Commissions.’

Will it be in time?

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science – the science against which it had vainly struggled – the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

Peg, Australia is a great country to visit. I prefer Perth.

There would be quite a few agreeing with you… Political Correctness run Amok. Too bad Liberals won’t see it for what it is; but that is just liberals – Political correctness must rule all! …..They’re coming to take me away….

It’s in several segments and rather long I’m afraid. But it speaks volumes on the situation up there.

But, if the Dhems and or the ObamaMeister and the Dhems. take full power it could come to us, that simple.

You might take the time to view it, even at intervals.

Over.

Peg, quit “lurkin” and git to talkin :)

Seriously, miss your comments. Best, whatever you’re into,

Thanks! Need to get back into it! Took a break for a while. Anybody seen EricpJohnson? /Sorry for the off topic post

+1 – Touche! Great comparison!

I sure am glad at times like this that the toxic mix of extortion and extreme political correctness isn’t being used to silence anyone in the United States.

Well, at least it’s not government-imposed censorship. Still about as shameful as it gets, though.

After consulting security experts and Islam scholars, Mr. Perry said the company decided “to postpone publication for the safety of the author, employees of Random House, booksellers and anyone else who would be involved in distribution and sale of the novel.”

Someone should get her in contact with whoever published The DaVinci Code. Apparently it’s perfectly safe to rewrite Christianity, not Islam.

Seriously, miss your comments. Best, whatever you’re into,

I can’t believe his attorney(s) wouldn’t go pro bono on a case like this!

That lawyer would probably just as soon took the other side.

Maybe not, just sayin’.
