After a Seattle artist's cartoon went viral, she says she's not going with it. Molly Norris drew up a sketch declaring May 20th "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" after Comedy Central cut a portion of a South Park episode following a death threat from a radical Muslim group.

"I make cartoons about current, cultural events. I made a cartoon of a 'poster' entitled "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" with a nonexistent group's name -- Citizens Against Citizens Against Humor -- drawn on the cartoon also. I did not intend for my cartoon to go viral. I did not intend to be the focus of any 'group'. I practice the first amendment by drawing what I wish. This particular cartoon of a 'poster' seems to have struck a gigantic nerve, something I was totally unprepared for. I am going back to the drawing table now!"
On her website Norris originally explained the campaign was not meant to disrespect any religion, but rather meant to protect people's right to express themselves. © 2010 The Associated Press.

I like the quote.
C’mon Molly, grow some.
Radical Muslims can’t take us all out - time to draw for freedom.
It's a symptom of a huge sea-change, where attitudes toward radical Islam are concerned.
No telling where it's going to lead, but it's a big deal.
Muzzies must have gotten to her. LOL
Hope she carries a sidearm, the brave jihaddis are known to go after tough unarmed targets, like school girls.
If this isn't a threat, the word has no meaning.
AP wrote - “On her website Norris originally explained the campaign was not meant to disrespect any religion, but rather meant to protect people’s right to express themselves.”
I found this ending by the AP to be quite revealing. Why do they feel the need to appease? I wonder how they dealt with the “Piss on Christ” or “Dung on the Bless Mother”?! No need to do a search because I know already.
I hope when Janet can take time off from investigating the Tea Party “terrorists” she’ll take a look at what’s going on in Virginia. This isn’t the first time we’ve had these jihadi “threatening” us.
That is one Liberal I like. At least it is refreshingly Liberal—retro. Actually to champion individualism, independent thought, and of course freedom of speech instead of the social control platform of modern Liberalism.
They are lunatic enough to try.
What did Jon Liebowitz say?
A million cartoons might be a wake up call for radical muslims.
You’ll have to watch it.
Hmmmm. So it turns out not all publicity is good publicity!
I wish that you will be right. Regretfully, I doubt it, Moslems are amazingly tone deaf.
Maybe one should really think before doing something to incite viralness. What an idiot!
like democRATS.
