Draw Mohammad Day!
Western Hero ^ | 20 May 2010 | Silverfiddle

I never really wondered or cared what Muhammad looked like.  I always thought his story was pretty cool but that was the extent of it...

Now, with all the fleckspittle fatwas flying, embassy's burning, etc., and all because someone insulted The Religion of Peace, his countenance has become an issue.  The forces of liberty and secular liberalism are fighting back by sponsoring Draw Mohammad Day.

Created Controversy
Anyway, Reason Magazine has a great article on the whole global hubub.  The most egregious and insulting of the original cartoons were not created by Islam-hating westerners, but by Islamists themselves.  A kind of self-created "Protocols of Zion" to whip the sweaty hordes into a white hot frenzy.  It worked.

These images were included in a dossier that aggrieved imams living in Denmark took with them to the Middle East specifically to stoke outrage at a dozen cartoons published in September 2005 in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. 

The images include an amateurish doodle identifying Mohammed as a pedophile, a dog humping a prostrate praying Muslim (with the caption, "This is why Muslim pray five times a day"), and a photocopy of a French comedian in a pig-squealing contest (with the phony caption, "Here is the real image of Mohammed"). 

It is nothing less than amazing that holy men decrying the desecration of their religion would create such foul images, but there you have it. It is as if the pope created "Piss Christ" and then passed it off as the work of critics of Catholicism.
We are patsies for allowing 7th century women-hating troglodytes to drag their petty third-world bigotry and grievances into our lands.  Shame on Europe!  Shame on the United states!  Shame on us all for not having the balls to ship these angry goblins back to the stinking toilets they crawled out of.

Whose Side is God On?  You Decide...
