New York Times Joins Extremist Leftists Promoting, Publishing Propaganda, Demonizing Western Religions

For The New York Times, deciding which images are too offensive for publication is a tricky business.
On Monday, the paper published an image of Niki Johnson's "Eggs Benedict," a portrait of Pope Benedict XVI fashioned entirely out of condoms.
The artwork is "not hate-based," the Milwaukee artist told the Times, but is meant only to "critique" Benedict's views on sex and contraception "while raising awareness about public health."
"What I want to do is really destigmatize the condom, normalize it," she told the newspaper. "I've watched kids and parents talk about condoms. It opens a door to talking about what those things are and what they do."
The Times' decision to run an image of "Eggs Benedict" comes just five months after it opted not to show Charlie Hebdo's infamously provocative artwork.
The newspaper's executive editor, Dean Baquet, said in public statements at the time that the French satirical magazine's cartoons were simply too offensive for publication.
[. . .]
For the Times, there's no comparison between "Eggs Benedict" and Charlie Hebdo's controversial Muhammed artwork.
[. . .]
An official with the Milwaukee Art Museum, which will soon display Johnson's portrait, told the Times he hopes the condom-laden image will "bring not only controversy, but room for conversation about the underlying discussion the artist intended as well as regarding the role of art in public discussion."
The Times' Corbett told the Examiner, "I don't think these situations – the Milwaukee artwork and the various Muhammad caricatures – are really equivalent. For one thing, many people might disagree, but museum officials clearly consider this Johnson piece to be a significant artwork."
[. . .]
The Times has been criticized in the past for having an apparently inconsistent policy when it comes to publishing controversial – and even offensive – images.
In 1999, for example, the Times published Chris Ofili's "The Holy Virgin Mary," a painting of Christ's mother fashioned entirely out of feces and adorned with cutouts of genitalia from pornographic magazines.
In 2005, 2006 and 2010, the Times republished anti-Semitic cartoons in full.

Google Map Maker Suspended For Cartoon. Is Google Adopting Sharia Law?




Google Map Maker suspended after it was used to draw Android urinating on Apple logo
Google has pulled the tool that allowed users to make amendments to its Maps service, in the wake of a huge prank that saw a user draw the Android logo urinating onto the Apple one. Editing the maps at all is now disabled until the company improves the moderation system, the company said. That is likely to “take longer than a few days”, it said. The peeing prank was the end result of “escalated attacks to spam Google Maps over the past few months”, the company said.

Geert de Wilders, Dutch MP, Announces He Will Show Cartoons of Muslim Prophet




[From article]
Wilders said he would show the cartoons during television airtime reserved for political parties, in a move likely to offend Muslims since Islamic tradition holds that any physical depiction of the Prophet Muhammad is blasphemous.
[. . .]
Wilders, whose Freedom Party holds 12 of the 150 seats in Parliament's lower house, told The Associated Press he wants to air cartoons from the Texas competition to support people "who use the pen and not the sword."
"If we say, `it might be offensive, so let's not do it,' then we send a signal to the people who wanted to get into the event in Texas ... and all their followers that it works," he said. "That we can be intimidated, that we get frightened."

Muslims Protest French Cartoons

The issue of apologizing to Muslims for the latest video ridiculing Mohammed came up at an event for the Columbia University School of Journalism Centennial on September 19, 2012 in Boston. Some US journalists say that the reason for the attacks on US Embassies and Consulates in Libya and Egypt were caused by that video. I asked one Columbia Journalism professor what he thought about the US State Department apologizing for that video. He thought it was appropriate because some people were offended by the video. I suggested that there was no reason for apologizing, since it is US law and culture to permit and to defend ridicule of religion. I asked why the diplomats did not uphold their oaths of office to protect and to defend the US Constitution which permits such expression. He said it was because there were some people who were offended by the expression. I did not suggest that Muslim diplomats should apologize to US citizens who are offended by the attacks based on what is legitimate expression. I am offended by their attacks on free expression protected by the First Amendment. Why are offended Muslims more important than offended American citizens? Does it have anything to do with violence, the threat of violence and the fear of violence by spineless US officials? Does it have anything to do with the efforts to legitimize Sharia law in the US which diminishes if not eliminates First Amendment protections?

[From article]
At the demonstration in Lebanon, Nabil Kaouk, deputy chief of Hezbollah's Executive Council, warned the United States and France not to anger Muslims.
