COVERING A CONTROVERSY ABOUT MOHAMMED, THE NEW YORK TIMES RUNS...
VIRGIN MARY IN ELEPHANT DUNG

jim geraghty reporting

So - the New York Times writes about the Danish cartoon controversy, and includes a photo of demonstrators... and one other photo. The caption:

<<< Chris Ofili's "Holy Virgin Mary" was at the center of controversy when shown at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999. >>>


Yup, it's the Virgin Mary depicted in elephant dung painting.

What a bunch of wimps. They'll run photos of art that offends Christians from seven years ago in a heartbeat, but they won't dare run a cartoon that could offend their Muslim readers.
