The liberal media are open enemies of Christianity

“Anti-Muslim bigotry” cry The New York Times and The Washington Post about conservative Christians who have been pointing out the militaristic emphasis of the Koran and questioning the holiness of Muhammed’s character. Yet, as Marvin Olasky reminds us, these noble newspapers, so worried about any possible offense to Islam, have not exactly been concerned about gross insults to Christianity. When an artist painted a picture of Mary using elephant dung and cutouts from pornographic magazines and had it displayed at the Brooklyn Museum, the Times called it “witty … attractive … colorful and glowing. The first impression it makes, before you decipher the little (porn) cutouts, is that it’s cheerful, even sweet.” And the Washington Post said of Terrance McNally’s play “Corpus Christi” which portrayed Jesus as a homosexual: “What’s wrong with letting individuals decide what they want to see?”
