Quote:

Everybody Draw Mohammed Day was an event held on 20 May 2010 in support of free speech, specifically in opposition to those who threaten violence against artists who draw representations of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. It began as a protest against censorship of an American television show, South Park, "201" by its distributor, Comedy Central, in response to death threats against some of those responsible for the segment. Observance of the day began with a drawing posted on the Internet on April 20, 2010, accompanied by text suggesting that "everybody" create a drawing representing Muhammad, on May 20, 2010, as a protest against efforts to limit freedom of speech.

U.S. cartoonist Molly Norris of Seattle, Washington, created the artwork in reaction to Internet death threats that had been made against cartoonists Trey Parker and Matt Stone for depicting Muhammad in an episode of South Park. Depictions of Muhammad are explicitly forbidden by a few hadiths (sayings of and about Muhammad), though not by the Qur'an. Postings on RevolutionMuslim.com (under the pen name Abu Talha al-Amrikee; later identified as Zachary Adam Chesser) had said that Parker and Stone could wind up like Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was shot to death by a Muslim extremist, who afterwards pinned a letter to his body with a knife. The individuals running the website later denied that the postings were threats, although they were widely perceived as such.

Just making fun of the extremest. Just like messing with Scientology or the Fred Phelps gang, I see no difference.

But when these crazies and no I don't mean all Muslims start getting stuff censored everywhere and cut peoples heads off for cartoons. I mean come on.

I completely agree with you. I was just feeling especially superior when I made that reply.

I forgot about the "its all for teh lulz"  way of life.

But this isnt one that I am going to take time out to partake in. I could see if it did some good and made people think "why the fuck do I care if someone portrays Mohamed", and hell, for all I know it might.
