CNN pixelates Mohammed cartoons but not offensive Virgin Mary depiction

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/02/02/cartoons.wrap/index.html

CNN has chosen to not show the cartoons in respect for Islam.

Click that link and watch the video included after that phrase. They pixelate the cartoons "so as not to offend viewers."

Of course, being CNN, they had (and have) no problem showing uncensored images of offensive depictions of Christian figures:

Scroll down to view a photo of Chris Ofili's "The Holy Virgin Mary":
He used elephant dung and images of female genitalia in that work.

Maybe CNN knows the difference between Christians' response to being offended (peaceful) and Muslims' response (violent).

Cue the clueless liberal remarks. e.g. "Double-standard? What double-standard? I don't see a double-standard."

UPDATE: Not surprisingly, the New York Times is doing the same thing.
