Where To Find Opus On Sunday

Berkeley Breathed has a note up on his site: "Note to Opus readers: The Opus strips for August 26 and September 2 have been withheld from publication by a large number of client newspapers across the country, including Opus' host paper The Washington Post. The strips may be viewed in a large format on their respective dates at Salon.com.."

    Is this Bizarro Slashdot? I don't know what this story is about. I'm guessing it's about a comic strip of which I've never heard?

    (Searching...)

    I've hit Wikipedia to learn that it's a comic strip about a penguin. Is this strip popular amongst nerds? Is the penguin related to Tux?

      A more cogent reason to censor the comics is that the US has been an invading, occupying, murdering presence in the Islamic region for many years, as well as an uneven-handed supporter of the Israeli state also terrorizing the region, so that wisdom dictates here that forbearance trumps the right of some well-fed American cartoonist to practice an abstract right to harass these people further. Not that I expect the media to do the wise thing.

    That's not honest to say that Christians are peaceful and Muslims are not. Christians blow stuff up too and vandalize and are just as intolerant etc.

    So you're saying that Muslims are a bunch of sensitive neurotic kids? Is that what you're saying!?

    There is a striking difference between perceived Islam and perceived Christianity: With Christianity, they are perfectly willing to die for what they believe. With Islam, they are perfectly willing to kill for what they believe. Now, where the truths actually lie is somewhat irrelevant.

    Apparently the Bible says we should kill people who serve other religions:

    Deuteronomy 13: (King James Version)

    6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

      7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

      8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

      9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

      10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

    [...]

      13 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;

      14 Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;

      15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

    You're the type of guy that feels the need to explain the joke, I see. The fact is that I read the strip, found it unfunny, then read your commentary, acknowledged that I was fully aware of all those issues before reading it, and still found it unfunny. If I could I would have moderated your comments overrated.
