'Everbody Draw Mohammed' cartoonist: I'm against my own concept becoming a reality.

Just a reminder... May 20th is "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day." It started as a joke, in a one-off cartoon by Seattle artist Molly Norris. Despite comments made immediately after she put the cartoon in the web, she has been saying for weeks that she never intended to have it be a REAL day/protest against Muslim extremists threatening cartoonists and other creatives. She also wishes that the day would be "called off."

Me, I think it's important that as many drawings featuring the Prophet Mohammed (may peat be upon him) show up on as many websites as possible. The organized Muslim assault on freedom of expression beyond the "Muslim world" that began in 1989 must be stopped.
