CNN, Fox News, and NBC news are reporting the cover and describing it -- but they are not showing it, because it is obviously soooo offensive.

This is an example of a fundamental difference between Europe and the US.  there is nothing offensive in this cartoon, other than it depicts Mohamed, which is prohibited in the Muslim faith.  News organization in the US self censor themselves and do not publish it.  In Europe we think that if Islam forbids the depiction of the Mohamed, who was a historic figure and a normal man, then Muslims are free not to draw his picture, but everybody else can if they want to.  when Muslima and others go on that the cartoons were racis and offensive they are in bad faith, because the big issue for Muslims is that Mohamed is depicted at all in the cartoons, not that he is depicted in  a degrading manner.  they are trying to impose their religous morals on us.  I would never send a Mohamed cartoon to a Muslim friend because I don't want to offend him, as I would never cook a pig roast for  Muslim or Jewish friend for the same reasons. but I want to have the right to eat pig and prosciutto as much as I want, and draw a cartoon of Mohamed and read cartoons made by others.
