Infamous Muhammad Cartoons are decidedly not worth the fuss of re-publication according to dozens of experts consulted by Yale University and Yale University Press.
As reported by New York Times columnist Patricia Cohen:
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.
Completely cowardly…but that is to be expected.
Granted, given the mindset of the folks who would be aggrieved by these cartoons, it is also understandable.
Yale made the wrong choice in that they caved on freedom of expression, but probably made the right choice in that they have no doubt prevented multiple deaths by exremists and fanatics.
