For shame!
Reader comment on item: Media Admits Censorship due to Islamist Intimidation

Submitted by Douglas Boggs (United States), Apr 26, 2006 at 21:03

The media that does not publish cartoons of Muhammad and the like because of intimidation should be ashamed and are not worthy to represent the West and its Enlightened values. Credit should go to many Italians, including the former cabinet member who had T-shirts made for public distribution with the famous cartoon of Mohammad with a rocket in his turban.

Kudos to those not cowed by this totalitarian threat.

Douglas Boggs, Kansas City
