Surely the news cycle has not quite cooled on the story of the YUP&#8217;s last-minute decision to publish a censored version of Professor Klausen&#8217;s book about the Dnaish Cartoons, a version that omits not only the cartoons themselves, thus robbing the book of its raison d&#8217;être, but also other artistic representations of Mohammed, thus capitulating to the daft iconoclasm that permeates the more extreme forms of Islam. If the designer of the book had a sense of humor, he would arrange to have the book printed with the offending illustrations blacked out and the word &#8220;CENSORED&#8221; emblazoned over the page.
