Metropolitan Museum pulls Mohammed images?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York said several images of the Prophet Mohammed were removed from a collection and are 'under review.'

After the cowardice of Yale University Press (not publishing the controversial Danish Mohammed cartoons in a book about the cartoon controversy), a cave-in by the Met would signal a truly depressing collapse of intellectual freedom. The original reporting for this story comes from the slightly sensational NY Post, so I hold out hope that Metropolitan Museum has not really bowed to fundamentalist pressure.
