Editor,
I was totally dismayed by the Oct. 28 editorial cartoon. I am a passionate defender of free speech, but this was just so wrong on so many levels. I was offended, and I’m a Lutheran. I can’t begin to imagine what our Muslim brothers and sisters must have felt. Why is it that prejudice is no longer socially acceptable unless the targets are Arabs and/or Muslims? Would the same cartoon have been run if the characters were black, Hispanic, Chinese, etc.?
