NYT on the Pope: This portrait of Pope Benedict XVI is made out of 17,000 condoms http://nyti.ms/1RMK4t4


NYT on the Prophet Muhammed: “Out of respect to our readers, we have avoided those we felt were offensive”


I'm not at all offended by any picture of the Pope. I am offended by the abject faggotry and double standard.

Oh Nutty, are you truly this stupid?

Sadly, I believe the answer is 'yes'.

The Pope is an Earthly being, the Prophet Mouhammed is not.

The Pope in Catholicism is akin to a Grand Ayatollah in Islam.

The Prophet Mouhammed in Islam is akin to Jesus Christ in Catholicism.

Understand now?

The Pope just needs to start sending out his crew to enforce things like the peace loving Muslims do. Nothing like a good old fashioned Inquisition of some reporters to level the field. Sometimes you just need to put the fear of God in people before they get the message.

What does your statement ("If a portrait of Muhammad made of condoms had been displayed, terrorists would have bombed the location and murdered people.") have to do with the supposed hypocrisy pointed out in WingNut's post?

The NYT didn't 'sanction' anything. It reported on both the Charlie Hebdo cover and the portrait of Pope Benedict. It simply chose to publish a photo of the portrait but the Charlie Hebdo cover. I do not see how that is hypocritical.

The reason given for not printing the Mohammed cartoon is that they did not want to offend offend anyone. I don't think they wanted to offend anyone who would kill over it is more accurate.

Perhaps. It's still not hypocritical.

If you don't agree with them,
if you have a differing, "unpopular" opinion,
if your views "hurt" other people's feeling,
if you agree with the Founding Fathers,
if you agree fully with the US Consitution,
if you have real American values,
if you have family values,
if you prefer an orderly society,
if you believe we are a nation of laws and not one of (respecting certain) men,
if you believe that God is real,
if you believe in setting healthy boundaries,
if you believe in God, Family, then Country,
if you believe in preserving history no matter how ugly it was, because those who forget are doomed to repeat its' ugliness
Then let's face it, there's a growing element in our nation which would rather see you dead.
The perfect storm is coming, and will soon arrive and those like-minded who believe the above must associate or die.

"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
EDMUND BURKE, 1770
from his "Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents"

Paraphrased: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."


First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemöller (1892 - 1984)

It is a double standard. They didn't want to offend their leaders with a Muhammad pic, but didn't care about offending catholics with a pope pic in condoms.
Shows a lack of journalism integrity. Some say there is a persecution of Christians in this country. Though I think that's overstated (persecution is happening in the middle east and it often results in death) I see why people feel persecuted.

We are supposed to accept gays rights and Muslim rights. But people don't want to accept Christians rights. Christians are the whipping boys. Its fine for the media to bash on them.

There are a lot of judgemental christian assholes out there, but there are also a lot of real Christians that try to do what's right. They may be against gay marriage and other things that are becoming acceptable, but they don't get militant or tell you how to run your life. They just try to set an example and help others

I think if one looks at this objectively, it's clear that the NY Times has acted in a hypocritical manner. Whether it's the pope, Jesus, or Mohammed - in both cases you have revered religious figures. In one case the NY times shows religious sensitivity and in the other case it doesn't. I'm Catholic. The picture of the pope isn't what bothers me so much but the fact being provocative is more important for some that being kind, or expressing one's opinion in a way that demonstrates respect for another point of view. What ever happened to being thoughtful, patient and kind? Why isn't this valued to the same degree? How can one group take the moral highground on any issue when they are willing to make broad sweeping statements about any other group. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, or atheist, liberal or conservative, democrat or republican- if you make broad sweeping statements regarding any group - well you can't really stand for real justice in anything because you yourself are being hypocritical. Does that make sense?

+1 you nailed.


I wouldn't want to offend any righteous or decent religious person. I'm a non-believer but I know some people of faith who are alright.

The New York Times doesn't care about Christians- they've proven they won't blow shit up after the Piss Christ and Virgin Mary dung sculpture. The Times is worried shitless about offending Muslims.

I think a lot of the double standard is rooted in fear and discomfort liberals have with critiquing people of color or minority status. Which is racist.

It can't be racist unless you're white!

Oh wait...

Most of them at the NYT are white.

OK, it can't be racist unless you are white AND you're someone on the right.

There.

That works!

degrading Islam = beheading
degrading Christianity = applause

That’s as far as the “overly-pc population” can see.
