Molly Norris, Artist Behind 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day' Cartoon, Goes Into Hiding

(Sept. 15) -- So much for freedom of speech.

At the urging of the FBI, Molly Norris, the Seattle-based illustrator and cartoonist whose satirical drawing marking "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" resulted in death threats, global protests and impassioned debate about religion and censorship, has been forced to change her name and abandon her former life as a result of her controversial cartoon.

The news that Morris had, out of concerns for her safety, decided to go into hiding was first reported in the Seattle Weekly today, a paper where Norris' cartoons had regularly appeared:

The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully. But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, "going ghost": moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity. She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor. She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection program -- except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab.

I guess the Religion of Peace wants a piece of her.

Don’t worry, Obama will explain why this is just Freedom of Religion.

Islam is a religion of peace, and Muslims reserve the right to kill anyone who says otherwise.

Hope her new life is fun, safe, and rewarding.
She should secure a reliable sidearm and carry it.

Is the FBI going to offer the same to the almost koran burning preacher?

Hmmm...the government has put her into witness protection and the government is run by known al-quada sympathizers.

Not smart.

This is another example of exactly why it should be unconstitutional and against the law to burn korans or offend muslims in any way. /s

This group represents a small percentage of Isalm. Probably around 700,000,000.

The rest of Islam probably just wants to stone her.

Since she is a woman where is NOW?

This is why every free citizen who wishes to remain free must antagonize Islam and burn Korans whenever possible.

My prayers for Molly Norris and her family. This is why we must also pray for the safety of Derek Fenton. May God protect him and his family and keep them safe. I hope praying FReepers join me; the power of prayer is strong.

This BS makes me want to make a huge pile of korans, pour some pig grease on them and ignite it with some gunfire. That this woman should have to give up her identity, her family, essentially her life because she excercised her right to free speech should NEVER happen here. Anyone threatening her should be arrested. Eric Holder, you limp islamic d—k, where is the justice?

This is EXACTLY why Qur’an’s should be burned in the West.

All of them — EVERY one. The West must show Islam that it has no place amongst us. And then we must back up our symbolic actions with real actions to protect ourselves.

To those right here on FR who suggested that they were opposed to “burning any book, no matter where from”, I say nonsense, plain and simple.

It’s a matter of survival — not only intellectual survival, but plain physical survival as well.

If you embrace the right to keep and carry arms as a matter of self-defense, you probably also embrace the idea that if someone is threatening you with a gun, and you are armed and carrying, that it’s right and proper to shoot back to defend yourself. Even if the bad guy doesn’t pull the trigger first.

Islam is “pointing its intellectual gun” at The West.

Do we “shoot first”?

Or lose?

I wonder what that art museum in New York would do if someone brought them a koran in a jar of urine as an ‘art’ exhibit?

They seemed to love the cross in a jar of urine, with the wonderful name of “Piss Christ”

Or a picture of Mo’ in a jar of Urine... with the caption “Piss Be Upon Him”
