First, there was Boobquake--the wearing of tight and provocative clothes by women to dispel the insipid ramblings of an Iranian cleric that promiscuous women cause earthquakes--now there is "Everybody Draw Mohammad Day."
The deuce you say?
Via Dan Savage's blog at The Stranger, some clever chappie (I don't know who) has declared May 20, 2010 "Everybody Draw Mohammad Day," in support of Matt Stone and Trey Parker and in opposition to religious thuggery. Why May 20? I haven't a clue, though it could have something to do with Otto ascending the throne of Greece. Or, more likely, King Sancho IV of Castile's founding of the Study of General Schools of Alcalá.
I will be employing my tremendous skill as an illustrator, of course, and expect that my colleagues will do the same. If they refuse, they will be declared weak-kneed, namby-pamby, quisling infidels and will be shamed on this blog (Though such idle threats rarely work these days; perhaps I could threaten them with a painful death, which seems to do the trick). If readers would like to show their solidarity, please email your Mohammad masterpieces to me here: mmoynihan at reason.com. The best ones will be published on Hit & Run, which, along with the concomitant death threat, is reward enough.
http://reason.com/blog/2010/04/23/first-annual-everybody-draw-moI am fascinated that while 1 president flailed mightily to present Islam as a religion of peace and another president bows and endorses the genocide of Israel to curry favor with Islam the people themselves have thrown away these gestures and are in open rebellion against Islam.
Yes, rebellion, because that is what you have when you resist that which has held power over you. MAJ Shitbag Hasan can wrap himself in the mantle of PC tolerance as a cloak of invisibility until he goes on a jihadist killing spree (and the idiots in government won;t call it jihadist) but Franklin Graham gets booted off the invitee list for noting the fact Islam oppresses women (but Allah help you if you are so un-PC as to suggest women have no business being in combat while within earshot of a Pentagon shithead).
Islam dictates what we can say, how we can say and when and to whom. It would tell us how to dress, what to draw and how we should treat our wimmenz. It was not elected. It does not have our consent.
Rebel.
I think we too should participate. If you do, please remember that for the most part this is a family site. Add something to your FB page. Call a radio station. Do it.
