NEW YORK TIMES: HYPOCRISY/COWARDICE WATCH

        The NYTimes tiptoes up to the topic of the Religion of Pieces cartoon jihad, and urges others to be resolute. Do these self flatterers ever look in the mirror, other than to observe the quality of their hair pommade? If they possessed one ounce of the resoluteness they urge on others, they'd stop being self censoring Dhimmis and print the cartoons in full color on the front page. Until they do, all their self congratulatory moralizing counts for nothing.

"...With every new riot over the Danish cartoons, it becomes clearer that the protests are no longer about the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, but about the demagoguery of Islamic extremists. The demonstrators are undeniably outraged by what they perceive as blasphemy. But radical Islamists are trying to harness that indignation to their political goals and their theocratic ends by fomenting hatred for the West and for moderate regimes in the Muslim world. These are dangerous games, and they require the most resolute response..."
