Muslims Protest Cartoon in Akron Newspaper

(Akron, Ohio) In a seemingly intentional effort to be offended by just about anything, Muslims are protesting cartoonist Chip Bok and the Akron Beacon Journal. Bok's February 5th cartoon is considered insensitive and insulting to Muslim leaders and they have demanded an apology from the newspaper.

Additionally, after an apparent anger consolidation prayer meeting at a local mosque on Friday, one irate follower of the religion of peace, Mustafa Muhammad of Akron, said the cartoon made the prophet look like a crackhead. He also called for Chip Bok to be fired.

According to Beacon Journal spokeswoman, Rita Kelly Madick, there will be no firing and no apology. More appropriate, in my estimation, would be a followup cartoon opining on the relative thickness of the average Muslim's skin. For example, two researchers talking about a recent experiment at the Nanoscience Measurement Lab.
