Papers pulling Non Sequitur because of 'Muhammad' mention
by Alan Gardner https://www.legal-project.org/798/papers-pulling-non-sequitur-because-of-muhammad Excerpt: Universal Uclick has confirmed that several papers (upwards of 20) have asked for a replacement for this Sunday's Non Sequitur because it mentions the word "Muhammad." The cartoon by Wiley Miller depicts a lazy, sunny park scene with the caption, "Picture book title voted least likely to ever find a publisher… 'Where's Muhammad?'" Characters in the park are buying ice cream, fishing, roller skating, etc. No character is depicted as even Middle Eastern. Responding to the news that his strip may not appear in some papers, Wiley tells me, "the irony of editors being afraid to run even such a tame cartoon as this that satirizes the blinding fear in media regarding anything surrounding Islam sadly speaks for itself. Indeed, the terrorists have won."
