“’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.””
