    Dean Baquet isn't afraid of terrorists, he just doesn't want to offend a hypothetical Muslim family in Brooklyn who reads the Times:

    And obviously don't expect all to agree. But let's not forget the Muslim family in Brooklyn who read us and is offended by any depiction of what he sees as his prophet. I don't give a damn about the head of ISIS but I do care about that family and it is arrogant to ignore them.

    Any mention of how afraid terrorists are to wage war against actual warfighters?

    One of the Charlie Hebdo folks said it pretty well when he said newspapers aren't weapons of war.

    The leader of the free world:

    “The international jihadist movement has declared war. They have declared war on anybody who does not think and act exactly as they wish they would think and act. They have declared war on any country like ourselves that values freedom, openness and tolerance.

    And we may not like this and wish it would go away, but it is not going to go away and the reality is that we are going to have to confront it.”

    I wonder what he thinks of the pass interference controversy in the Lions-Cowboys game. We know what our president thinks.

    Free speech is still the same today as its ever been, unless I missed where the government has taken away that right.

    MSNBC seems to be moving the narrative towards disenfranchised muslim youth that the west has not
    done enough to integrate into their society.

    No, no. Only tin-foil hat wearing FOX News-watching right-wingers are afraid of your garden-variety practicing Muslim.

    Plenty of the rest of us are frightened by its radical offshoots.

    The problem is we're not dealing with your garden-variety radicals, and the additional danger is that far too many people want to ignore that reality.
