Cartoons on Muhammad and more

Wendy McElroy reports that RightBias has offered a (mostly) new set of cartoons on Islam. One of my favorites has a group of bearded men with shocked expressions looking at a letter that says "To the Taliban: Give us Osama Bin Laden or we'll send your women to college." Two of the Jyllands-Posten cartoons are included. So are four items which clearly aren't cartoons.

Whatever you think of the humor, the courage behind posting such stuff is the right answer to terrorist threats. Random House, on the other hand, recently showed it has no courage at all, pulling the publication of The Jewel of Medina after receiving "cautionary advice" from an unnamed religious thug.

Random House has given a huge boost to the thugs, telling them they can stop any book by threatening violence. Congratulations to RightBias for not doing the same.
