AFDI Muhammad Cartoon Winner Bosch Fawstin Goes Unto Hiding
Atlas Shrugs ^ | 05/05/2015 | Pamela Gellar

And still the media cowards attack us fiercely (because they know we won’t chop their heads off) and refuses to run the winning cartoon.

“Muhammad Cartoon Contest Winner Retreats Into Hiding,” By Nathan Koppel, Wall Street Journal, May 5, 2015 Man says he faces death threats after winning grand prize for drawing of prophet

“I don’t want to say where,” Mr. Fawstin said, also declining to say his age. “There are Muslims out there who want to kill me.”

Mr. Fawstin said he was raised by Albanian Muslim parents in the Bronx but eventually renounced his faith. He said the 9/11 terrorist attacks motivated him to use his art to denounce Islamic extremism.

Days before the shooting, the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation sent a joint bulletin to law-enforcement agencies, warning that while authorities didn’t know of any specific threats tied to the contest, they were concerned that it could “prompt violent extremist reaction”.

The bulletin said authorities were especially concerned about acts targeting contest participants, who may not understand the degree to which they could be in danger, in the days and weeks following the event. Mr. Fawstin said he will likely have to remain incognito for the foreseeable future. “I’ve been called a hermit since a kid,” he said. “I’m used to being on my own.”

I heard that the winning cartoon was of two chalk outlines on the pavement but don’t quote me on that.

You should send that idea for a cartoon to Mr. Fawstin.

Gads! Drawing pictures of The pedoProphet and a Muslim apostate, to boot!

I see Muzzie heads exploding everywhere, like the Martians in Mars Attacks...

I love that video she posted with her marking pages of the Quran with bacon.

Hate to criticize Annie Barnhardt, but bacon book markers kind of ruin it for toilet paper...

Of course, if you ate the bacon BEFORE, I guess it would be OK...

Maybe, but I’m not sure I would want to view that video.

With all this talk about the contest, I have yet to see an image of the winning entry. Or any of the others for that matter.

I had a thought that maybe NAMBOLA* (the Lefty press) is attacking because they don't want conservatives getting the idea that confrontation might be successful or have dividends.

We might start baiting Lefties like this, wiping our bums with the Kyoto Treaty, or creating art named "P*ss Legal Abortion".

Link to it on my post #18. Atlas Shrugs and Breitbart posted the cartoon entries a week or so ago.

Is the guy who made the “offending” video still in jail? What exactly were the charges?

Soon after the Benghazi attacks he was jailed for probation violation on an unrelated fraud case (timing?).

This from 09/25/2013:

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was the only person to end up in jail after the attack by Islamic jihadists in Benghazi one year ago that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

After President Obama and his top aides blamed the attack on Nakoula’s “Innocence of Muslims” movie trailer posted on Youtube, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised the filmmaker would be arrested and prosecuted.

But on his last full day in custody – not for anything to do with Benghazi but for parole violations in a fraud case – Nakoula told WND he made the movie and wrote his new book, “Innocence,” to warn America about the threat of Islamic jihad.

“We don’t need Sept. 11 again. We don’t need Nidal Hasan again,” he told WND, referring to the Muslim Army officer who killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas.

The Egyptian-born Coptic Christian said Americans also need to be more aware of Islamic persecution of Christians in Egypt.

He dedicates his book — described on the cover as “the original script and storyboards for ‘Innocence of Muslims’”– to Stevens and the three other Americans who died in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith.

The Oligarchy is heavily indebted to the Sunni Muslims. Just ask princey Charles.

Wow. Never really thought art was worth much, but that is an awesome point. If done properly, art can convey complex issues with relative ease. Leftist art usually tries to convey simple issues with complex graphics.
