Yes, 3 years ago. Was it the same editor? Was it the same policy board? Has the policy changed since then? Has there been other cartoons since then. Using something from 3 years back does not prove any point. It simply says that there was a related case at a different time. If it was 3 months ago then it would have more 'weight' but a LOT can happen in 3 years. But I'm just playing devils advocate here. You may well be right about there being a double standard against printing something that would be offensive to Christians in what is basically a Christian country.
