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.
(Hat tip to fellow North Carolinian Lorie Byrd)
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.
Prior Toldjah So posts on this issue:
- EU windbags considering ‘media code’ after cartoon controversy
- The anatomy of the cartoon jihad
- NYT publishes virgin Mary “art” – but not ‘offensive’ Mohammed cartoons
- Oh indeed – it’s definitely about hate!
- Iran paper to publish Holocaust ‘cartoons’
- Another US media double standard re: cartoons
- US media will print Abu Ghraib photos but not controversial cartoons
- Multicultural sensitivity and how it can have brutal consequences
- US sides with Muslims in cartoon controversy

Nice. The comments seem to be off. I noticed they were the same. First four comments were the same next few were all the same. And so on. Something’s fouling up the comments there. Conspiracy? Hmmm….
Also the Mexico site. Another good cartoon. They both make the proper point, but the Muslims will not see it. They are not sane, so it will be their own odd interpretation. Which is skewed to outer space.
Thanks, ST!
I’m not sure who is trying to spam the comments, but something tells me that the student body is not entirely infested with spineless apologists.
Good for them.
Not all students are blindly liberal academics…some of them actually think for themselves.
Hat’s off to the TarHeel…a reasoned and courageous free-speech response…it’s not the Danes who made Mohammed and Islam an object of derision, it’s the protestors holding signs with variations on “Behead anyone who says we’re violent”. It was brave to draw it and brave to publish it. We should not tolerate the imposition of Shariah over our history and culture of free speech.
The Republic has seen those who can only bow and scrape and whine before.
Samuel Adams spoke to this issue and his words are still valid today.
“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace.
We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand
that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity
forget that ye were our countrymen.”
