Opus pulled from newspapers for next two weeks

A storyline about Islam has caused controversy. If the storyline was about Christianity or Judaism, I am quite sure it would have run, regardless of complaints, and the editors would have patted themselves on the back for their defiance. People keep bending over backwards to give extra consideration to Islam. Give an inch, don't be surprised by the mile taken.

On his website, Berkeley Breathed has posted a note saying that many newspapers that carry his comic strip Opus won’t publish it for the next two weeks:

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.
