I just read what has to be one of the most depressing articles I have seen. Molly Norris, the "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" cartoon artist, has “gone ghost.”
That means that on the advice of the FBI, she has disappeared, changed her name, assumed another life and no one knows where she is.
She drew this picture of the alleged prophet Mohammed and encouraged everyone to do so.
For some reason, in the past few years, Muslims have decided that pictures of Mohammed were blasphemous. This is in spite of the fact that there is almost 1300 years of artwork depicting Mohammed in various things, all from a Muslim perspective.
And they have also decided that it is blasphemous for anyone to draw anything that claims to be Mohammed. Not only that, if you do, they will kill you. It doesn’t matter where you live or what the culture allow where you live. Their ideas trump your ideas and if you go against what they say, they will kill you. It is called a fatwa, an order of execution.
Do you remember a few years ago, the Piss Christ? It was a crucifix in a jar of urine. There was also the picture of the virgin Mary painted in human feces. There was the series of Jesus as a homosexual, including a play on the subject.
A woman draws Mohammed and troops die in Iraq, the world stops turning on its axis and the woman has to go into hiding. A pervert draws a picture of Jesus and nothing happens. What was the difference?
Christians do not bomb and kill. No matter what Hollywood may say, the only place a diversity of faiths can flourish is in a Christian nation. In a Muslim nation, the women are invisible and the people are afraid.
Back in the 80’s when Salman Rushdie write his book on the Satanic Verses, which was uncomplimentary to Islam, there was a fatwa on his life. everybody got mad about it and voiced their displeasure. Today, it is amazing at the number of people who said, It is her own fault for being dumb enough to make Muslims mad.
Have we come so far in our culture that we are afraid to do things if there is a fear of retaliation? Of course, you can diss Christians all day long without fear of reprisal, but don’t dare do anything against Muslims.
We live in a pathetic culture.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
