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.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.
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.
Not original, but a start.
happy holidays!
That is awesome! I wish I had the skills to do stuff like that!

Good fun!
You thought Mohammeds story was pretty cool?
Since when is the story of a child molester cool?
Calm down... I remember reading a story about him when I was younger. The obviously cleaned-up version was a great adventure story. Try not to be so sensitive for crying out loud.
He signed up just today to rebuke you....

Yeah, This is sarcastic against Islam there is no doubt about that and you should feel insulted for your religion being reticulated.
But the question is how Islam reacts to it.
Islam likes to compare Mohammad to their parents which he is not I understand:
Would you kill someone that insulted your parents?
Or support your brother killing someone that insulted your parents?
Or physically stop them from insulting them?
Or would you say, "please stop that"
Obviously if you answered the first two then you need to reevaluate your basic moral structure of life.
i posted mine there on facebook on that page I am not sure what happened. it was up there for about a minute and it vanished.
Actually, Ironwill posted a really cool picture that was very unflattering to The Profit. Nice, detailed graphics.
