I rarely indulge, but in this case…

Borders, Waldenbooks Won't Carry Magazine

Borders and Waldenbooks stores will not stock the April-May issue of Free Inquiry magazine because it contains cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that provoked rioting, burning, et. al.

Here’s the good part:

"We absolutely respect our customers' right to choose what they wish to read and buy and we support the First Amendment," Bingham said. "And we absolutely support the rights of Free Inquiry to publish the cartoons. We've just chosen not to carry this particular issue in our stores."

That’s like a country club saying, “We totally believe in equality and human rights, and that’s why we’re happy to invite Blacks, Indians, Hispanics and Catholics to join. We’ve just chosen not to let the Jews in.”

More like:
“We totally believe in equality and human rights, and that’s why we’re happy to invite Blacks, Indians, Hispanics and Catholics to join. We’ve just chosen to suspend their memberships this month. Goddamn ethnic vermin."

I don't understand why someone would have sympathy for any single one of those riotous types who burn embassies just because of a cartoon. Welcome to the modern world. Wait till these people catch their first episode of Carlos Mencia's or Dave Chappelle's comedy shows.

I'm petitioning the AJC to reprint them. When the riot starts I hope to score a plasma TV.

Exactly, shank, it's culture shock and awe. (oh god did I type that?)
