Yale University Press Censors Harmless Muhammad Cartoons

Don't be too hard on media outlets too craven to publish the tepid Danish cartoons that Muslims used as a thin pretext to intimidate dhimmis. True, it was impossible for them to do their job without letting us see for ourselves that the cartoons were nothing any sane person would riot over. But there are others just as cowardly. Yale University Press, for example:

Yale University has removed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad from an upcoming book about how they caused outrage across the Muslim world, drawing criticism from prominent alumni and a national group of university professors.
Yale cited fears of violence.

But… but… I thought Islam was the Religion of Peace.

Yale University Press, which the university owns, removed the 12 caricatures from the book "The Cartoons That Shook the World" by Brandeis University professor Jytte Klausen. The book is scheduled to be released next week. …
Islamic law generally opposes any depiction of the prophet, even favorable, for fear it could lead to idolatry.

The execrable New York Slimes, Washington Compost, and Los Angeles Slimes also shrank from the publishing the innocuous cartoons, although the NY Slimes did muster the courage to publish "Piss Christ" and a portrait of the Virgin Mary covered in elephant dung and vaginas cut out of porno magazines. At least the media and academia can redeem themselves for their cowardice and obsequious dhimmitude by boldly bashing Christianity at every possible opportunity.

muhammed cartoon
Too hot for the yellow-bellied moonbats at Yale University Press to handle.

On a tip from mandy.

So, Yale University Press won't even show the cartoons in a book written about the cartoons and the Muslim reaction to them?

Besides being good little dhimmis, Yale, the Slimeses, Compost and all the other cowardly rags are also likely refraining from running the cartoons lest they possibly offend Dear Leader. Does anyone know if he's yet figured out what mosque or church he will attend? http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/24323.html
Gotta keep checking if he's gone back to his Muslim roots because he calls the US a Muslim country and just last week for Ramadan he payed tribute to what he called "a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress."

Um, anyone able to cite some specific examples of any Muslim commitments to "justice" (exclusive of traditional Muslim justice of chopping off appendages, blowing people and things up they hate, and mutilating their daughter's vaginas) and progress (I'll settle for any inventions, societal advancements in medicine, industry, science, arts, prevention of human rights abuses).

Did'nt they invent the "Push Start" and "Pull Start" systems for lawn mowers?

although the NY Slimes did muster the courage to publish "Piss Christ" and a portrait of the Virgin Mary covered in elephant dung and vaginas cut out of porno magazines.

And the same Swedish papers too "respectful" of Islam to publish the cartoons have no problem with publishing the Israeli organ-harvesting libel.

Of all the religions the libs could respect, the one and only religion they do is the exact same one that has yet to undergo a process of tempering. It's partially out of fear, but I think it's also partially because Islam is dead useful to the Marxists as a proxy fist against the hated West. At the aftermath of 9/11, there were a lot of liberals who couldn't disguise their glee at the "felling of the mighty" (Ward "Little Eichmanns" Churchill and the late and unlamented Kurt Vonnegut, to name just two).

In effect, the Yale University Press is admitting that offending Muslims is dangerous. When the left refuse to criticize or ridicule Islam, and instead relentlessly attack Christians and Christianity, they are acknowledging that Christians ARE peaceful and do NOT pose a threat to society, while Muslims are NOT peaceful and DO pose a threat. Virtually none of them will openly admit to this hypocrisy however.

They won't admit to it, Refuter, but it's as clear as the hand in front of your face.

Eveyone pandrs to these murderers because they are afraid the MOOOOOSLIMBS will get violent.

I say fuckem'

I wish someone would invent a time machine and go back to warn the people of the free world about how FUCKING STUPID their decendants will become.

It is dishonest for Yale to make the claim "Islamic law generally opposes any depiction of the prophet, even favorable, for fear it could lead to idolatry"
The world is replete with paintings depicting Mohammad, done by Muslims, over hundreds of years. Yales' use of 'generally' is pathetic. One down.

It is fatuous to imply that a negative cartoon could ever lead of idolatry. Two down.

They would be better off not printing the book than stain themselves with this excuse. Dave and the others are right. Yale is simply terrified that some Muslims will get violent. If what they claim was true, it would be acceptable to some extent. But all they do is excuse cowardice with dishonesty.

Islam is a cancer on the human race.

Posted by: SK at September 8, 2009 8:00 PM

Actually, the cartoon gets it wrong. I have it on good authority that Allah began a virgin recycling program two decades ago. Not to worry.

muslims are not dangerous because the people that hurt others for no reason aren"t muslims because they are breaking one of the most important rules of islam: be kind to all people no matter their race color or religon!!!
there are sick lunatics in every religion .. the cristians are no saints!!!
sorry for my bad english:(

Posted by: jane at September 10, 2009 12:44 PM

i have to question all those who commented offends Islam or profit Mohammad .
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ISLAM TO MAKE SUCH A COMMENT???

shouldn't be fare for you to read the holly book of Islam (Qura`an)first ??? not just hearing it from media and starting to repeat it and then believe in it ,, even thought its not true :s

honestly i haven`t find yet any conversing reason of publishing the draws or even drawing them :S
it`s a wast of time !!!!
i mean,, would making fun of other riligens makes a prove that a person has a great locality to his religion ?!!!

and ii also think that the aggressiveness of some groups of Muslims over such thing is really stupid ,, because basically if you have a GOD and you believe in him that much you should believe that he is capable of defensing his profit without the need of people to do this job !!!

christans and hindus and all non-muslims eat the bull shit and drink pig milk and urine and eat pigs shit how dare you say any thing wrong about islam go to hell you non-sense people have a donkeys life forever and go in the hell thooooooooooooooooooooo

there is a lack of respect towards all religions and nowadays many idiots just jump on the bandwagon and attack Islam because they know there are a small number of idiots who retaliate. The majority of Muslims do not care what the prejudiced lunatics around the world are saying. I say let them attack Islam because eventually when no Muslim responds to these braindead idiots then they will get bored and go back to their pigsty's where they belong.Remember the small minority of idiots who attack Islam do not speak for the Majority because it is the good majority who matter rather than this insignificant minority of pigshit.

I'm a muslim and I have to say to the people commenting about how bad Islam is, to please be sincere in their arguments.

Posted by: Man at September 11, 2009 8:20 PM


Yale U is wise to carry out censorship to avoid future damage to its prestige. People do not realize that without Islam, acting as a breaking force throughout history, the world will still be immersed in very much darkness... many will still be slaughtered in the name of Christ, our thinking will be forced to be only in one direction. America is where democratic ideal should be practiced to maintain balance...Islam must be respected !!!

In Islam we are not allowed in fact,extremely forbidden us from making fun of anyway religion or a symbol of a religion ( cross -monk or any holy man)and we ask the free educated world to treat us the same way :) even if the fre world think of us totally the opposite and let's assume it's true Do u deal with such ppl wiith the same such actions ?! it has been said " an eye for eye would make the whol world blind "
Can we get that at least !
and for the guy (Jim) who called ISlam a cancer there's ppl in this world abey animals things and Nothing (not that i want to underestimate them in any way )but no body annoys them and if u said we attacked I'll say who is in the land of who !!!!!
