Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

Guess it takes awhile for some folks to work up a good rage. Can't wait to see how they react to the wedding party hotel bonming in Jordon.
And some people can't spell. Should preview before posting. Supposed to be hotel 'bombing'.
The Sandmonkey rocks...........
Great find.
The Faux Rage will continue though.
Good question, Tom. What I really want to know is how they'll react when they learn they're not under the Ottoman Empire anymore?
But the NYT would never, never publish such things. The offensive nature is patently obvious. Gosh, it looks like the whole US publishing world got suckered into one of the biggest scams ever.
Did editorial comments accompany the photos?
err... make that cartoons, not photos.
Published in October? Bit of a Fagr?
Please be more precise: Which date in october did they publish the cartoons?
jdavenport and fnimion, you will want to ask those questions at the Sandmonkey's blog.
Holy crackers--we've been snookered once more! It's "you wouldn't DARE bomb during Ramadan" all over again.
Is it the West's relative ignorance about Islam, some amorphous nature inherent in Islamic theology, or a combination of the two that sets us up for these scams again and again?
Great work, dont worry about te spelling or the precious date, we good people know what you are saying. keep up the good work
The Danish ambassador to Egypt, Mr. Bjarne Sørensen, confirms that the cartoons were indeed printed as Sandmonkey claims. See the website of national Danish radio here:
