50. How sad.
We had a similar situation a few years ago here. Rudi Giuliani wanted to censor an artist's show because he thought the art was demeaning to Jesus or the Catholic Church or something. Everyone is entitled to think for themselves in this area. I have just s much right to see cartoons that make fun of Muslims as I have to see cartoons that make fun of atheists or Bush or Kerry or anyone or anything elses. Free speech is a human right endowed by our Creator and nothing is more sacred than the human rights that are a part of our birthright as human beings. These cartoons do no harm whatsoever. If someone finds them offensive, they should not look at them. That's their choice. but they can't dictate to others what they can see. We are having this same problem with the Christian right -- with the right wing in general.
