Hats off to the Daily Tarheel
You’ll rarely see me praise the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, mainly because it’s against my religion (I’m a Duke Blue Devils fan all the way ) but I’ve got to take my hat off to them this morning for printing their own Mohammed cartoon – not any of the ones that have sparked such an uproar – but one that has already caused quite a stir in and around what is arguably North Carolina’s most liberal college campus.

In the meantime, the Washington Post explains why they won’t be reprinting the Mohammed cartoons. Hmpfh.
Related: Glenn Reynolds/Instapundit tells CNN that they have “blown it” but refusing to show the Mohammed cartoons.
Update: Mark in Mexico points to a spot-on cartoon from the NY Post.
