Washington Post op-ed: "To put it simply, radical
Islamists have won a war of intimidation. They have cowed the major news
media from showing these cartoons. The mainstream press has capitulated to
the Islamists -- their threats more than their sensibilities."
"One did not see Catholics claiming the right to mayhem in the wake of the
republished depiction of the Virgin Mary covered in cow dung, any more than
one saw a rejuvenated Jewish Defense League take to the street or blow up an
office when Ariel Sharon was depicted as Hitler or when the Israeli army was
depicted as murdering the baby Jesus."
