What started out as a cartoonist's call to action against censorship -- an open invitation to submit caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad -- has led to death threats, a court order to temporarily block parts of the website in Pakistan and a call for a boycott of Facebook to protest what Muslims believe is blasphemy.

"Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" began last month as the brainchild of a Seattle-based cartoonist named Molly Norris, who was appalled by Comedy Central's decision to censor an episode of "South Park" that depicted Muhammad in a bear costume.



This should become interesting. Pakistan has barred Facebook over this group, and hilarity is sure to follow.

The most amusing part about this is that the Qur'an doesn't even prohibit visual depictions of Muhammad. Such depictions have been deemed wrong by tradition, which is very much analogous to political correctness. Perhaps it'll finally become accepted, or even legalized, for us (see: "Christians") to readily murder people with nonconformist views of race and religion within the next 50 years!

See I had not known that. Regardless, if it were, it would still be completely irresponsible and ridiculous. Never underestimate the power of South Park fanboys and fangirls.

Well, really, no known pictures of anything in Abrahamic religions are real. The angels you see in paintings and cartoons don't look a thing like they're supposed to, according to... every book. :rolleyes:

I mean, really. Btw, nice picture, D3V! Lol, Humummad Ali ftw!
