Opus Censorship?

[weaktwos]

So, according to /., Opus is not being carried by their home newspaper (the Washington Post) and a number of other newspapers around the country for a few sundays. (This Sunday and next)

I presume they are afraid of significant backlash.

Here's today's Opus.

I don't find it particularly offensive. It's not exactly an uneven attack. It's more of a comparitive piece. Both western culture and radical islam are lampooned in roughly even fashion.

Of course, I'm slightly bothered that as far as I know, radical islamists seem to treat their women the most poorly.

What do you think?

Brethed is brilliant. He has always been on the money and fair (although I remember a bit of one-sideness about Mary Kay Cosmetics). Thanks for the link, I haven't read him in a long time. Outland just didn't appeal the same way as Bloom County.
