How many newspapers have printed political cartoons with those sorts of images?

The cartoons in question were political cartoons.  What newspaper in the
USA would have printed similar material of an obviously racist and
stereotypical nature?

The Muslims are making a mountain out of a molehill.  But then it seems
pretty easy to whip them up into a frenzy over issues like these.  Still, I
have to question the judgement of the editors who approved these cartoons
for publication.  Not because they're offensive, but because they're not
funny.
