What these fools at the NY Daily News either can’t or don’t want to recognize is that unless they are willing to convert and conform to the tenants of Dark Ages Islam, they will be provoking these Islamic zealots just as much as any Muhammad cartoon.

The image the MSM won't show you. (They had no problem showing Piss Christ in close, clear focus, while telling Christians to go to hell: it's art doncha know.)

Liberals trying to blame Americans for exercising their God-given rights are no different then blaming a women who was raped for dressing “provocatively.”

BTW how is defending the Islamic Terrorism here by the left not Treason? Its lending aid and comfort to the enemy...

In 20 years, they will be saying, "It offends us if your women are walking around showing their disgusting lust-producing faces."

Have there been similar editorials in response to works of art that denigrate Christianity?

They are already saying it in Sweden. Young women wearing Western clothes should be berated and even raped. The government just hushes it up.

Remember what we all learned in grade school?

Q: How should you deal with bullies?

A: Stand up to them.

Freedom. Use it or lose it.

The First Amendment and free speech is the enemy of the left. Everything that stands in their way of controlling the narrative must be eliminated.

It’s a sorry state of affairs in America when defending our freedom of speech is “playing with fire.”

In Muslim enclaves, they feel entirely safe taunting us.

In our enclaves, we should feel the same way.

The fact that this event was taunting hair-trigger, violent Muslims is testimony to the fact that we have too many here.

In Muslim countries, they don’t worry about an enraged Westerner of Texan blowing them away when they burn the flag or spew their hate in celebratory mobs.

Thanks for posting that as I was wondering which drawing had won the prize.

Bull hockey. Anyone who didn’t want to see Mohammed cartoons was free to not attend the event. Nothing was forced on anybody. It was not provocation. Terror is what it is.

Funny, Geller is “playing with fire” by holding an event where some get offended by other people creating pictures that violate their religious beliefs.

But same-sex couples aren’t “playing with fire” by forcing/coercing some to actually violate their own religious beliefs by creating wedding cakes.

Right.

I knew what kind of article this was going to be when I read this “Prophet Muhammad” crap. This Muhammad guy is not my “prophet,” and I will not address him as such. By all historical accounts, he was a pretty unsavory killer, with a taste for little girls.

If the media actually did its job and let people know what Muslims actually believe and practice, there’d be no need for Geller’s provocative stunts to demonstrate it.

She is forcing them to have to deal with the issues they want to ignore, and they want to ignore it in large part because it shines a light on their own cowardice.
