Politically Correct?

(Fox News) - A few weeks ago we told you about some episodes in the comic strip "Opus" that were being dropped by The Washington Post and some of its affiliates because of a reference to Islam that editors felt might be offensive.

A female character says she is becoming a radical Islamist because it's the "hot new fad" on the planet. About 25 of 200 papers in the syndicate didn't run the comic.

Now Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell says the papers that refused to run the material were wrong and that Washington Post editors overreacted.

She says that of the papers that did run the comic, only two received complaints — one each. And many Muslim leaders — including the head of the rights group CAIR and the chair of Islamic Studies at American University — say they were not offended by the comic.
