In a moral failure of epic proportions Yale University Press is censoring a scholarly publication dealing with the controversy over cartoons caricaturing Muslims and the Prophet Mohammed. Editors at Yale University Press have triggered a storm of controversy and outrage by deciding not to reprint the 12 sketches for fear of violence.
The Cartoons That Shook the World, due out in November by Yale University Press, examines the reaction of the Muslim world to the 2005 publication of the cartoons by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The original publication of the satirical cartoons resulted in riots, death threats, and the murder of many people.

Should the cartoons be published with the book?

Yale Press is wrong to not publish the cartoons. To reward terrorism this way is irresponsible.

Yes. Of course they should be published. How can they publish the work without the pictures that the work is discussing?
