As someone who has written a great deal about the double standard applied to “Islamic sensitivities” I can only say it’s long past time someone other than Trey Parker, Matt Stone & Dutch Cartoonists tackled this issue…
As I said in an article after the original Cartoon Wars of 2005 I don’t believe all those brave people who stormed the beaches of Europe & the Pacific in the 1940′s spilled their blood to be bullied by an ignorant mob.
I only wish I had some artistic talent so I could lend my voice today.
Valerie commented:
I am very sorry to see what Mohammed’s followers have made of his own, decent, teaching. It’s this simple: the man refused to have his portrait done, because, he said, he wasn’t a god and he did not want people to worship him.
And that’s been turned into an excuse for violence and oppression of normal, ordinary folk.
If Mohammed were here today, he’d be cheering for the cartoonists.

For some reason, every time I draw Mohammad, it ends up looking like Obama. Hmmm…
Valerie commented:
A reminder, for anybody who missed it: the three “worst” cartoons were faked by those mightily offended “imams.”

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.

===============
The teachings of Muhammed– heretic, warlord, slaveholder, and pedophile– were the indecent ramblings of a genocidal maniac who misunderstood both Judaism and Christianity.
You posted a cooment last week, Valerie, about the Soviets exploiting the Afghans and the resultant violence. The Qu’ran, Hadith (life stories of Muhammed), and the Sura verses are the inspiration for these terrorist acts just as they have been for 1,368 years.
Many people have been threatened when approaching Muhammed’s life as a biography project. Many films have had to be scrapped for the same reason as these cartoonists have been hunted down like animals.
Robert Spencer (JihadWatch.org) has successfully penned several books exposing Islam, including “The Truth About Muhammed.” Spencer has been untouchable from a legal standpoint because he quotes the Qu’ran and traffics in reality.
Islam cannot stand up to scrutiny because it is false teaching protected by violence. Apostates are murdered per the direction of Muhammed. Muslims today are just like Muslims of centuries past: followers of a cult that enforces its creed with violence.

I don’t get it. Draw Mohammed Day? I would think this is being orchestrated to tick Muslims off, like they need a reason anyhow. Do I want a Draw Jesus Day? Sorry, but it is just weird.

I would draw Mooo-Ham-Ed as “Shaggy” from Scooby-Doo, but I think that would be a copyright violation and I wouldn’t want to impugn the character of “Shaggy”.
Warthog commented:
@#9
It’s really simple Joanne. Muslims have said, declared that drawing Mohammed in any form is not allowed. Even those not a member of their religon are forbidden to do so. Do it and you are to be killed for blasphemy.
Here I’ll blaspheme right now: ((((:~{>
People who engage in EDMD are saying, we do not agree. Our free speech trumps what you declare. (Though a lot use more colorful adjectives and adverbs than are allowed by this comment section.)
Now, in your mind a “Draw Jesus Day” is somehow equal. WRONG! Can you find me anywhere a “Death to Jesus Drawing Artists declaration/movement/fatwa/etc. somewhere?
No?
(you go look, I’ll wait…)

Mohamhead was nothing more than a murdering pedophile who convinced a bunch of gullible camel jockeys and goat mollesters that god said Mohamhead should take over the world… and have lots of boys to molest… and women to beat… etc., etc.
They’re so smart that they still believe that. Goes to show ya.

I still think we need to kill all of them, until they’re either all dead, or finally so beaten down that they reform their death cult called “islam.”

I am very well aware of the perverted use, by people who call themselves the best Muslims, of selected verses in both the Koran and the Hadiths.
I am also well aware that the real Muslim scholars understand and embrace the core teachings of Judaism.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/11_10_07_letter.pdf
…faith in the One God is not the property of any one religious community. According to Islamic belief, all the true prophets preached the same truth to different people at different times. The laws may be different, but the truth is unchanging.
They acknowledge the two great Commandments: ….”and the second commandment is like it: Thou shalt love they neighbour as thyself.” citing Mark 12:29-31 and Matthew 22:37-40
And they said that their prophet brought nothing new to the message from God, that the message from all three faiths is the same.
*************
The quotes from Mark and Matthew are Jesus referring to the Torah.
We don’t have time to wait for the Muslim clergy to try to turn their flocks around: we need to confront real, great evil in our time, today. I think this cartoon campaign is a fine idea. I also think this cartoon campaign is in the spirit and keeping of decent Muslim thinking.
I intend to keep pointing that out, because it is Islamic Rage Boy who is the blasphemer, not some cartoonist repelled by the ugliness of Islamic Rage Boy’s evil.

I’m doing a post-modern mosaic using Pork by-products.
Kevin P commented:
In the spririt of EDMD and to show our appreciation for the prophet Mooo-Ham-Ed we should welcome the new mosque planned near ground zero.
We should also support the devastated area by starting new businesses directly across the street.
A brewery and and pork processing plant come to mind as appropriate.
Ohhh I’m liking this better and better.
Just think of the contortions the left will have to go through while describing these new businesses as “insensitve” to the community while the new mosque is not.
Also – they would have a hard time fighting against the new job opportunities in this rough economy – espeically in the economically devastated area wrought by the destruction of the Twin Towers by the Religion of Peace.

Joanne #9:
Draw Our Lord and Savior all you like. In fact, US tax dollars (NEA) paid for several such offensive artworks.
If you insult Our Lord, He will forsake you when He comes in glory to judge the living and the dead.
OTOH: muzzy rage jerks (his offspring are idiots) have to threaten rational people because their mass murderer can’t come up from hell to defend himself.
He is among the sowers of discord. His sin was to violently sunder what God meant to be pacific and united. He is hacked and torn by a demon with a bloody sword. After each mutilation he drags his broken body back to the demon (in the meantime his wound knits), and he is butchered anew.
Here is the picture of mahomet (perpetual torment on him) for today: He’s in hell (Circle Eight, Bolgia Nine). He’s cleft (that means cut open, liberals) from crotch to chin. He walks about in torment with his entrails dangling between his legs. (Inferno, Dante, Canto XXVIII)

Yes, it is an appropriate, and quite mild response to the murders, the threats, and massive ugliness of those who engage in hirabah (unholy war) against all of God’s children. There are a bunch of perverts who have made a false god out of Mohammed’s image, and who have slandered God by threatening to murder people for the big non-sin of drawing a picture.
When the real, ordinary Muslims around them in Denmark were not perturbed enough to pick a fight over some cartoons, they drew some more of their own, and went far away, to lie about the cartoons and about mistreatment they never received at the hands of innocent, unoffensive people.
This whole Islamic Rage thing is a huge lie, and is itself UnIslamic. We don’t have to buy into any part of it.

“faith in the One God is not the property of any one religious community. According to Islamic belief, all the true prophets preached the same truth to different people at different times. The laws may be different, but the truth is unchanging.”
Allah is not the God of Israel or the Christian Trinity. Mohammed was not a prophet. Arabs bowed to Mecca and worshiped Allah, one of the hundreds of false Gods, hundreds of years before Muhammed was born.
Islamists refer to Christians and Jews as People of the Book. The Book or Bible was corrupted by the spawn of apes and pigs [Christians and Jews] and Muhammed received the Qu’ran as Allah’s final word.
Like the New Age movement, Islam mixes some truth with lies to deceive.
OUR INHERITANCE IS THROUGH ISAAC: both Testaments teach this; the Qu’ran does not. The Qu’ran is the antithesis of the Bible; you cannot believe both.
You stated in an earlier post:
“If Mohammed were here today, he’d be cheering for the cartoonists.”
Let me share a hadith with you. A slave woman scorned Muhammed and was killed in anger by her Muslim master. The master, feeling guilty, later related this to Muhammed who told her, “the taking of her life was justified.”
Finally,
“We don’t have time to wait for the Muslim clergy to try to turn their flocks around:”
You could not be more incorrect. Muslim clergies are not turning their flocks in any direction but against us. The fruit of Islam and the Qu’ran is evil. Look at the spike of attacks which occur on Fridays following these mosque services where people are whipped into a lather.
Please try to get your hands on a book by Robert Spencer, Ayan Hirsi Ali, Bat Y’eor, or Brigitte Gabriel. Good Luck.

Valerie…plain and simple. Mohammed was inhabited by Satan, took the Word of God and changed it, and denies Jesus was God’s son….thereby damning billions of people to eternal Hell.
Not a nice guy!
Auntie Em commented:
Since I can’t draw….
I am cooking a Pork Roast name Mohammed for dinner. He will have a pastry turban, and bacon formed to look like a bomb vest. .
We will start the meal by decapitating Mohammed for being an infidel. We will then put that head outside on the fire pit.
allah and his followers can stick it in their collective hookah and smoke it

Yup, Valerie, that’s why Muslims hate Jews and kill them whenever possible. Either you do not understand Judaism or you do not understand Islam. I think you just plain don’t understand.
Bob Grant commented:
@ Valerie
I’m hesitant to respond to individuals but I have noticed U are a rampant apologist for all things Islam. Is your last name Jarrett?
You’re either woefully under informed or & I suspect this to be more likely you have a pork free diet, a silly little rug & sore knees.
(((:~{> perverted the Teachings of Judaism & Christianity for his own political gain. In that respect not much has changed in the Muslim world since the 7th century.
You don’t have to believe me but in his book “The Truth about Muhammed” Robert Spencer devotes an entire chapter to Muhammed’s prophecies of political convenience.
“23 Years” by Ali Dashdi & “The Life & Releigion of Mohammed: The Prophet of Arabia” by Rev. J.L. Menezes prove my point as well.
Valerie if you’re not a Muslim read more opine less. If you are a Muslim (PA2EE)…

Joanne commented:
I know that Muslims prohibit the drawing of Mohammed, which in nonsensical in itself – just some man-made perpetuated nonsense, and I know that drawing Jesus is no biggie, especially considering no one ever bothers to draw him from descriptions saved, documented, and still available for us today to read, but ‘Draw Mohammed Day?” Whatever! He was an ugly man inside, and if anyone can portray that – good on ya. And by the way, Jesus was not black.

I have a simple question.
We can all laugh at Muslims having their favorites destroyed or maybe even laugh at some racist jokes on http://www.dirtyphonebook.com or something.
But would you all be taking the same stance if there holocaust jokes being made or jokes about police officers dying or what have you?
Many of my brothers are incorrect for wishing death threats on people, but there’s an obvious double standard on your part as well, my friends.

============
We just heard a Muslim student at a CA college admit she was “for it,” it being a 2nd Holocaust. She was met with disagreement, not attacks.
I have a simple question.
Where are the Jews and Christians, Gays and Hindus, rioting and killing people over things that REALLY happened, as opposed to your brothers killing nuns, priests, etc. over a stinking cartoon? Or the Pope asking a simple question?
Answer: Our holy book, THE Holy Book, the Bible, unlike your Qu’ran, does not instruct us to attack people who disrespect God or any of His real prophets.
Doesn’t the corrupt life of your “perfect man” make you want to vomit: pedophilia, torture, rape, slaveholding, mass murder?

PaulWalker commented:
Why I agree with and support that people have the “right” to do this. I still think it is a wrong headed notion. I mean, does the world really need more graven images of Muhammad? In my opinion this has less to do with free speech isthan it does cultural elitism. However, Pakistan more than overreacted to this too as did facebook.
