That is a real picture, from what the organizers described as a "successfully peaceful demonstration" against Everybody Draw Mohammed Day in Pakistan (Lahore, I think) on May 17. Even when being peaceful, it seems there are some Muslims who just can't help themselves when it comes to the death threats.And while Facebook (being a corporate entity) is probably not willing to die in defense of freedom of expression, I like to think that I am. But I also hope I'll never be called upon to fully sjow the courage of my convictions!
Here are some links to art galleries and articles focused on Everybody Draw Mohammed Day. (If you know of one I should list here, email it to me at stevemillermail@gmail.com. I will also happily post a cartoon you've drawn, if you don't feel like posting it yourself.)

ReplyDeletePretty cool, yeah. :)
ReplyDeleteI just read that hackers are going after the major archives and sites of "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day." Like all monsters, the terrorists keep fighting even after they've lost.
