. . .even though the book it is publishing is about the cartoons! The author had wanted them in her book, but a panel of 24 consultants told the academic publisher not to print the cartoons, nor the other illustrations of the prophet that are discussed in the book.
If Yale University Press is scared of Muslim reaction, then it should pull the book from publication. But to print the book without the illustrations that the book is discussing is just ridiculous, not to mention a prime example of the politically-correct, anti-intellectual, anti-Western bias that is paralyzing academia.
