You mean the whole world cannot make fun of anything that's Islamic? Who gives Muslims the right to enforce this gag order? Why must everyone change the rules and policies to accomodate them and their parochial views? Great are those religions which are tolerant and allow people to criticize and then come to a self-realization of their own follies.

I'm not sure if I accept the validity of Yale's proffered explanation that it removed the cartoons out of fear of violence. As I noted above, I do think there are valid justifications for not including the cartoons in the book. But Yale has not availed itself of those particular alternative justifications, at least in public. I find it curious that the author of this book says that she agrees with Yale's approach. Indeed, she says that if she thought there would likely be violence she would herself censor her book. She says that she disagrees only with Yale's estimate of the likelihood of violence, which leads to disagreeing with the decision to remove the cartoons. But she also agreed to publication of the book without the cartoons. It's all very strange. SodaJerk,
