It would have been better if they had not run a piece that was in such poor taste. Mocking the poor health and impending death of someone is sick.

I don’t think the bad judgement of the past should be a green light for further exercises in poor taste and insult.

The only reason why they didn’t publish the cartoons was fear of their building being bombed by ‘the religion of peace’.

I am not Catholic yet. But when the media published the photos of the Crucifix in urine, well I was MAD…I don’t think that just Catholics were mad. I remember other Christians were ticked off as well.

But we protested PEACEFULLY. We did not demand the MURDERS of innocent people. The ‘religion of peace’ better get a grip on reality…a bunch of sickos if you ask me…
