Mark Steyn on “New York Times nixes anti-Islam ad, runs anti-Catholic ad,”

by SHEIKYERMAMI on MARCH 15, 2012

The hypocrisy is mindboggling. Hammering Catholics is sooo cool, but you can’t do it to Islam:

Good to see that someone is calling the dhimmi cowards to account. “Times nixes anti-Islam ad, runs anti-Catholic ad,” by Neil Munro in The Daily Caller, March 14 (thanks to Pamela Geller via JW):

Times nailed:

The DC asked Robert Christie, the Times’ senior vice-president for corporate communications, if the Times’ decision is a surrender to violence and also an incentive for additional threats of violence…

OUCH! Enablers and appeasers. Biased cowards and phonies.

Geller scoffed at the Times’ conditional commitment. She told The DC she believes the Times will never publish a criticism of Sharia, or Islamic law, because “when is it ever a good time to blaspheme under the Sharia?”…

Another bullseye.

Here’s Mark Steyn with Michael Coren talking about it: (via BCF)

Executives at The New York Times have rejected a full-page anti-Islam advertisement that mimicked a controversial anti-Catholic advertisement they published on March 9.According to a Mar. 13 letter sent by the Times to the ad’s sponsor, anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller, the $39,000 anti-Islam ad was rejected because “the fallout from running this ad now could put U.S. troops and/or civilians in the [Afghan] region in danger.”

The swine. As if they cared!

Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League, accused the Times of having a double standard and told The Daily Caller that The Time’s was based on “either [anti-Catholic] bigotry or fear [of Islamic violence], and they’ve painted themselves into that corner.”
Donohue said the frequent claims of intellectual honesty by Times employees would compel them to address the double standard if they weren’t “shameless.”
TheDC asked Robert Christie, the Times’ senior vice-president for corporate communications, if the Times’ decision is a surrender to violence and also an incentive for additional threats of violence.
However, Christie declined to discuss the paper’s decision, and referred TheDC to the letter sent by the Times to Geller and her organization, Stop the Islamization of Nations.
The Times’ letter included a commitment to “consider the ad … for publication in a few months,” and the claim that “we publish this type of advertising, even those we disagree with, because we believe in the First Amendment.”
Geller scoffed at the Times’ conditional commitment. She told TheDC she believes the Times will never publish a criticism of Sharia, or Islamic law, because “when is it ever a good time to blaspheme under the Sharia?”…

Indeed. Read it all.
