Then surely there must be hundred of thousands of objections to the
inaccurate (and overwrought) characterization of the "show" as
"censorship". It simply is no such thing.
And your use of the phrase "collective morality" is telling, in
exactly the wrong way. We're supposed to be neutral; we aren't
supposed to *have* a morality in that sense. Right now, anyone can see
that we aren't neutral about depictions of Muhammad.
I've said about what was worth saying in this. Of course, the "show"
version is a concession. But what it comes down to at the moment is
that making a moral statement about those illustrations is worth
fighting over the issue forever. My personal view is that the article
shouldn't be caught between the aniconic fundamentalists and the image
inclusion fundamentalists.
