Everybody Draws Mohammed Day

....I initially had mixed feelings about Everybody Draws Mohammed Day. Provocation for its own sake is one of the dreariest features of contemporary culture, but that's not what this is about. Nick Gillespie's post reminds us that the three most offensive of the "Danish cartoons" - including the one showing Mohammed as a pig - were not by any Jyllands-Posten cartoonists but were actually faked by Scandinavian imams for the purposes of stirring up outrage among Muslims.As Mr Gillespie says:

It is nothing less than amazing that holy men decrying the desecration of their religion would create such foul images, but there you have it. It is as if the pope created “Piss Christ” and then passed it off as the work of critics of Catholicism.

So, if it really is a sin to depict Mohammed, then these imams will be roasting in hell. (Unless, of course, taqqiya permits Muslims to break their own house rules for the purpose of sticking it to the infidels.)

But, that aside, the clerics' action underlines what's going on: the real provocateurs are the perpetually aggrieved and ever more aggressive Islamic bullies - emboldened by the silence of "moderate Muslims" and the pre-emptive capitulation of western media. I was among a small group of columnists in the Oval Office when President Bush, after running through selected highlights from a long list of Islamic discontents, concluded with an exasperated: "If it's not the Crusades, it's the cartoons." That'd make a great bumper sticker: It encapsulsates both Islam's inability to move on millennium-in millennium-out, plus the grievance-mongers' utter lack of proportion.

I'm bored with death threats. And, as far as I'm concerned, if that's your opening conversational gambit, then any obligation on my part to "cultural sensitivity" and "mutual respect" is over. The only way to stop this madness destroying our liberties is (as Ayaan Hirsi Ali puts it) to spread the risk. Everybody Draws Mohammed Day does just that. Various websites are offering prizes. I only wish we could track down those sicko Danish imams* who drew their prophet as a pig, and send them the trophy.

(*PS If I seem somewhat obsessed by this point, it's because the Government of Alberta spent three years investigating my friend Ezra Levant for publishing the (authentic) Motoons, and, despite the cost to taxpayers, assigned a halfwit apparatchik to grill him about the cartoons who didn't even know that what she called the three "worst" ones were fakes.)

First I’ve heard of the Scandinavian imams creating their own cartoons. Not surprised. Loook at all the manufactured hate crimes here in the US.

I hope the cartoon call gets a record turnout. This needs to come to a head.

Tomorrow is a Nice day to Supplicate for the Destruction of the Kuffar!!! Please do not forget to make sincere du’aa

Please take tomorrow May 20, 2010 as a special day to make many supplications incessantly for the destruction of the kuffar, their armies, their embassies, their flags, their military bases, their houses, their security, their disgusting way of life. May Allah (swt) punish them continuously, destroy their buildings, foil their plans and resurrect this jihad until even the eskimos must remove their sleds from the path of Allah’s auliyya and mujahideen, amin!

“Cartoon contest leads Pakistan to shutter Facebook”
by Leslie Katz

SNIPPET: “Norris said she drew her cartoon as a statement on free speech and a gesture of support for Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the Comedy Central show “South Park.” The pair drew threats of retaliation after airing an episode earlier this year depicting the prophet Muhammed in a bear suit. Some Muslims consider images of Mohammed to be blasphemous.

The episode led a New York-based Web site called RevolutionMuslim.com to warn creators of the animated series that “what they are doing is stupid, and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh.” Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker and relative of famed painter Vincent Van Gogh, was murdered in 2004 after producing a 10-minute movie focused on violence against women in some Islamic societies.

The show’s producers then said Comedy Central, to make the episode suitable for later airing, censored the show by removing a speech about intimidation and fear without their permission.

After posting her Muhammed-related cartoon—which included a fake group called Citizens Against Citizens Against Humor calling for an “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day”—the idea quickly went viral, drawing thousands of enthusiastic supporters and spawning not only a Facebook page, but a blog.”

If I could draw, I’d create a drawing of a sandaled foot and ankle. On the ankle, there would be one of those tracking devices law enforcement puts on people who are under house arrest.

I’d title it “Mo the Pedophile”.

I took a massive dump. Does that count? I’ve always felt my own excrement is too good to represent a child molesting genocidal despot.

And be lanced and drained, like any putrid infection.

“’Everybody Draw Mohammed Day’ Unleashes Facebook Fracas”
By Joshua Rhett Miller - FOXNews.com

SNIPPET: “What started out as a cartoonist’s call to action against censorship — an open invitation to submit caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad — has led to death threats, a court order and a call for a boycott of Facebook.”

SNIPPET: “Matthew Quigley, a member of the “Everybody Draw Mohammad Day” group, said he joined the cause after Comedy Central censored “South Park,” which happened after a message on RevolutionMuslim.com warned that the cartoon’s creators “will probably end up” like Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was murdered after releasing a film critical of Islam.

“It is a line drawn in the sand,” Quigley wrote FoxNews.com. “On one side are those who are unwilling to allow the threat of violence to blunt the edge of Free Speech. It is a vocal and organized and headless movement to deny extremism the power of control.””

ROAD TO RADICALISM: The Man Behind the ‘South Park’ Threats
FOX NEWS.com ^ | Updated April 23, 2010 | By Joshua Rhett Miller - FOXNews.com
Posted on April 24, 2010 1:33:35 AM PDT by Cindy

SNIPPET: “He now likes to be called Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee, and his primary interest in this world appears to be Islamic radicalism.

Last week, Chesser, 20, posted a warning on the website RevolutionMuslim.com following the 200th episode of “South Park,” which included a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad disguised in a bear suit.”

SNIPPET: “In a separate post on RevolutionMuslim.blogspot.com, which now serves as the group’s main website since RevolutionMuslim.com has been shuttered, Chesser quoted Usama bin Laden when referencing why reactions are required when anyone insults or belittles the Prophet Muhammad.

“As Usama bin Laden said with regard to the cartoons of Denmark,” Chesser wrote, “’If there is no check in the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions.’””

Nice. I’m stealing that one.

Everybody Draws Mohammed Day”?
Just draw a turd in a punch bowl.

[The Great RJ]

Accurately depicting some parts of Mohammad’s life in pictures would be child porn.
