Everybody Draw Mohammed Day is May 20

Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris has declared May 20 Everybody Draw Mohammed Day—a response to Comedy Central’s recent unfortunate decision to cave to threats in the name of Islam and heavily censor an episode of South Park.

Quoting Andrew Mellon at BigJournalism.com:

The bottom line is that the First Amendment guarantees free speech including criticism of all peoples. We are an equal-opportunity offense country. To censor ourselves to avoid upsetting a certain group (in a cartoon no less) is un-American.

It is especially egregious because it represents dhimmitude. We are sacrificing our law and our heritage to Sharia. The law of our land is the Constitution and beyond that the natural law granted to us by our divine creator.

“Equal-opportunity offense.”  Indeed, Mr. Mellon.  Indeed.

Of course, we could laugh off as silly this notion that depicting Mohammed is forbidden, but people die over it, you see.

No worries, though.  I’m sure Everybody Draw Mohammed Day won’t come to that.  I’m sure that reasonable, intelligent, tolerant Muslim leaders will roundly denounce any threats of violence, thereby defusing this dangerous nonsense perpetrated and perpetuated by a few radicals and preventing innocent people from being murdered.  Because that’s what always happens.

Right?
