MO SENSITIVITY
The forbidden cartoons of Mohammadness have been published more widely in Muslim countries than in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada combined. In Malaysia alone, three newspapers ran images – compared to just two newspapers in Australia.
Not a single major US daily went near them.
UPDATE and CORRECTION. Much dispute in comments over the line above, which may have been unfairly dismissive of the papers that did publish the images; which, come to think of it, practically defines them as “major”. Unintended slur withdrawn.
