I was recently linked here at a blog I read: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/ar.....w-mohammed-day

In short, it's in retaliation to the clear threats of violence and death against Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of Southpark, by US Muslim extremists for their depiction of Mohammed in a bear suit in their recent 200th episode and Comedy Central's actions to appease said extremists through censorship. I want to do all in my power to spread this around, because no one, not even Islam, is safe from criticism and ridicule, deserved or undeserved, under our great and born-with right to freedom of speech. Even the hate mongering and death mongering words spewed by these disgusting zealots who have threatened Matt Stone and Trey Parker are protected by that right. The criticism of them and their religion is no fucking different, and I intend to make that clear as I can with what little I have.

Due to the fact that I couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler, I don't think I'll be participating in this. However, I feel strongly compelled to share this with everyone I possibly can. Who better than a community of artists like Fur Affinity? ]:8D

This image is the only content of the blog post linked to. It is copyrighted Molly Norris, but it seems well implied to me, given the purpose and reasoning behind it, that it is intended to be shared with everyone who loves and cherishes free speech (though its outreach to Southpark fans should be painfully obvious). I trust she will understand my distribution of her work, but should she ask, I'll pull this submission.

Remember, everyone! May 20th 2010 is the first annual "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" Spread the word! Link to the blog in your LJ and Facebook! Tell those Muslim fundamentalist bastards what we think of their bullshit and draw Mohammed or spread the word!
