It’s not all that surprising that Yale University Press would be wary of reprinting notoriously controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a forthcoming book. After all, when the 12 caricatures were first published by a Danish newspaper a few years ago and reprinted by other European publications, Muslims all over the world angrily protested…….In the end at least 200 people were killed.
Your “Religion of Peace” in action
So Yale University and Yale University Press consulted two dozen authorities, including diplomats and experts on Islam and counterterrorism, and the recommendation was unanimous: The book, “The Cartoons That Shook the World,†should not include the 12 Danish drawings that originally appeared in September 2005. What’s more, they suggested that the Yale press also refrain from publishing any other illustrations of the prophet that were to be included, specifically, a drawing for a children’s book; an Ottoman print; and a sketch by the 19th-century artist Gustave Doré of Muhammad being tormented in Hell, an episode from Dante’s “Inferno†that has been depicted by Botticelli, Blake, Rodin and DalÃ.

Teach are you at all aware that the Mormons believe Mohammad was one of the few humans to receive enlightenment through God ?
John,
Are you aware the Muslims consider Jesus a prophet fully as important as Mohammed? And that also has nothing to do with Yale not publishing Mohammed cartoons in a book about Mohammed cartoons?
I agree that a private institution has the right to publish or not publish anything they see fit, but I hereby exercise my right as a private citizen to call them spineless, dhimmi-grovelling wimps. That’s how freedom works.
