Willingly giving certain rights away is different then forcibly having your rights taken away, pass.

Really, you think the military is fighting for freedom? I don't. I think they are fighting for dominance of resources primarily. One of those resources is probably the poppies of Afghanistan, don't you think?

You have the right say whatever you want but have some respect for the members of this communities religious beliefs. Why don't we start gay bashing and lynch us some colored folk too while were at it. I hope Greg or somebody shuts this racist sh*t down.

 

Bashing? who, really, is doing the bashing? here is a quote, from a man who got attacked today in sweden, AND after death threats were made against him...because of a cartoon that i believe he drew in 2007...

 

"Vilks told CNN he had drawn the cartoon of Mohammed with a dog's body in order to take a stand. "It should be possible to insult all religions in a democratic way," Vilks told CNN from his home in rural Sweden. "If you insult one, then you should insult the other ones."

Vilks said his drawing was a calculated move, and he had wanted it to elicit a reaction.

"That's a way of expressing things. If you don't like it, don't look at it. And if you look at it, don't take it too seriously. No harm

done, really," he said."

 

and if you don't like the post, skiiip ooooover iiiit! Jezzzzuus!

Creators of 'Everybody Draw Muhammad Day' drop gag after everybody gets angry

April 26, 2010 | 2:14 am

 

 

 

"Everybody Draw Muhammad Day?"

 

As South Park's Sheila Broflovski would say: "What, What, WHAT?"

 

The outcry from Comedy Central's decision to censor an episode of South Park with depictions of Muhammad last week led a cartoonist and a Facebook user to fight back. That is until they realized it might be controversial, apparently.

 

In declaring May 20th to be "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day," Seattle artist Molly Norris created a poster-like cartoon showing many objects -- from a cup of coffee to a box of pasta to a tomato -- all claiming to be the likeness of Muhammad.

 

Such depictions are radioactive as many Muslims believe that Islamic teachings forbid showing images of Muhammad.

 

"I am Mohammed and I taste good," says the pasta box in the cartoon. On top of the cartoon images (but no longer on her website) was an announcement explaining the rationale behind the event.

 

"In light of the recent veiled (ha!) threats aimed at the creators of the....

 

 

...television show South Park (for depicting Mohammed in a bear suit) by bloggers on Revolution Muslim's website, we hereby deemed May 20, 2010 as the first annual "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day," the original artwork reads.

 

On Friday, Norris told a radio talk show host in Seattle that she came up with the idea because "as a cartoonist, I just felt so much passion about what had happened..." noting that "it's a cartoonist's job to be non-PC."

 

That passion, it appears, has lessened. And fast.

 

Her stark website today reads: ""I am NOT involved in "Everybody Draw Mohammd [sic] Day!"

 

"I made a cartoon that went viral and I am not going with it. Many other folks have used my cartoon to start sites, etc. Please go to them as I am a private person who draws stuff," she writes.

 

It went viral, however, because she was the one who passed it around. Sending it to people like Dan Savage, a popular Seattle-based blogger and nationally syndicated sex advice columnist.

 

Once it became a national story she reeled back, asking Savage -- in an email he provided to The Ticket -- if he would "be kind enough to switch out my poster" with another one -- a much tamer version which has no images attributed to Muhammad.

 

"I am sort of freaked out about my name/image being all over the place," her e-mail reads.

 

He didn't change it, nor did he post the tamer version. Besides, after Savage posted it, many other sites picked it up including The Atlantic and Reason.

 

When asked about her change of heart, Norris told The Ticket that she didn't intend for the cartoon "to go viral."

 

Then why did she send the cartoon to the media in the first place? "Because I'm an idiot," Norris replied.

 

"This particular cartoon of a 'poster' seems to have struck a gigantic nerve, something I was totally unprepared for," she said.

 

She doesn't appear to be alone. The creator of a Facebook page dedicated to the day has bowed out as well. Jon Wellington told the Washington Post (before abandoning ship) that he created the page because he "loved [Norris's] creative approach to the whole thing -- whimsical and nonjudgmental."

 

While he was still associated with his own event he said: "To me, this is all about freedom of expression and tolerance of other viewpoints, so I hope you'll help make this a sandbox that anyone can play in, if they want. I don't think it'd be right under the circumstances for me (or anyone) to censor inflammatory posts *ahem*, but let's be welcoming and inclusive, mmkay?"

 

Apparently the posts weren't "welcoming" enough, as on Sunday morning he announced his departure from the cause. "I am aghast that so many people are posting deeply offensive pictures of the Prophet," he writes. "Y'all go ahead if that's your bag, but count me out."

 

Did he think people were going to post flattering images?

 

That's what Facebook user Douglas Armstrong wondered too. "You created an event inviting people to submit pictures of Mohammed," Armstrong wrote. "And apparently you're so new to the Internet that you didn't foresee what would happen?"

 

Although Wellington had abandoned his cause, he apparently was sticking around to answer questions. To Armstrong's question, Wellington responded: "I guess I had more faith in human nature than was warranted."

 

Another user, Paul St. George, had little patience for Wellington. "If you're not going to attend your own event then take it down silly billy and quit boring us."

May 20th will be an interesting day, we will have to see if People Get Absolute Insain.

The Muslim Community needs to Deal with the Radicals, it's really the only way to rid the World of the Radical Muslims.

Peaceful Muslims need too stop fighting Us and take their Fight to where it Belongs, Towards the Radicals.

If my Brother is Insaine and Making My Family Look Like Complete Idiots, then I must do something to Protect Society before Society turns on My Family.

I support the troops realizing they are giving their life away to forces who are taking away freedom here in our country and around the world. The "Patriot" Act? Guantanamo bay? The most gruesome torture imaginable at Abu-Ghraib? How can that be considered freedom? How is it American to go around doing things like that? I think it is not only anti-American to support the Clintons and Bushes and Obamas, but worse it is anti-human.
