More cartoon “Dhimmitude”: Newspapers refuse to print Opus cartoon Mocking Islam
I have avoided the use of this term in the past as it is pejorative and far too convenient for my tastes.
But more and more, the ass kissing of Muslim hyper-sensitivity has been irking me, so I see no reason to continue ignoring it for what it is.
In short, when newspapers or other media avoid or censor anything that might be offensive to Muslims, where it is fairly obvious that such avoidance action would not happen if it was say Catholics or Jews.
My interest in this is equality. I refuse to accept that the media or others have an obligation to handle all matter Islam with kid gloves where people of my particular faith are open targets for scorn, mockery and derision.
So while I felt no particular interest in the Dutch Cartoons, this cartoon, I now do.
And it’s ironic. The cartoon in question is less mocking of Islam then it is of idiotic aging hippies and their fad causes, and chauvinistic men. So the irony is that the cartoon is treated as off limits because the core issues is Islam, even though the people in it are mocked for being too “American”.
But the mere fact Islam is the core issue makes the cartoon apparently untouchable.
So here it is, and part two will follow as soon as it is published. Click on the image below for the full size image.
And from this point on, LSU is going to focus on social Dhimmitude.

Opus gets censored out of fear of offendingMuslims…
This story (via The Amboy Times and Hot Air) has been making headlines on the blogosphere in the past day or two. It seems that Berkeley Breathed’s Opus comic strip has been suspended by 25 newspapers carrying it because, whether it’s in good or bad …
