I'd have to say I agree with Lex here... I really do not see the offensive ways of the following comic strip by one of my favorites... Berke Breathed.
...The rest of the strip is here [Link] copyright Berke Breathed Dist. the Washington Post Writers Group.
It is clearly a lampoon of our "fickle society, dedicated to chasing the latest greatest shiny object of spiritual enlightenment", Breathed points out our "willows in the winds" propensity in a quite current and topical... I might add humorous... way.
But noooo the ever politically correct and inoffensive Washington Post chose not to display this panel in their Sunday comics. I guess out of fear of respect for the peace loving and oh so understanding Radical Islamic ways.
Seriously if this were a stab against Catholicism, Baptists, Evangelicals there would have been no second thoughts... Oh brave Sir Robin!
The editors would wish to live under the boot of islamo-fascism than let a minor parody of "the religion of hate and death" be published. They don't and wouldn't do the same for Christians or Jews or Mormons.
The same liberal press that removed or didn't run very minor positive religious messages in the cartoon "B.C."
Too pro JC.
