Silencing "Opus"

The Washington Post and two dozen other papers declined to run two comic strips that could maybe, possibly, perhaps somehow offend some Muslims, somewhere, perhaps.

    Does anyone still believe there is a "liberal" press anymore

    The best satire is always true, that is what makes it so funny. The Post is afraid of the truth. The truth here is fundamentalist religions of all types are the fad these days, and all flavors of these treat women as subordinate to men. Interestingly, when any kind of Conservatism (Muslim or Christian) looks to the past for guidance, it always seems to bring back this choice for the social order. Some might wonder if they are overcompensating for their shortcomings.
