"Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" is a drawing posted on the Internet on April 20, 2010, the suggestion in it that everybody create a drawing representing Muhammad, the founder of Islam, on May 20, 2010, as a protest against efforts to limit freedom of speech, and the movement in support of that protest. Cartoonist Molly Norris of Seattle, Washington, created the artwork in reaction to alleged Internet death threats that had been made against cartoonists Trey Parker and Matt Stone for depicting Muhammad in an episode of South Park. Depictions of Muhammad are explicitly forbidden by a few hadith (Islamic texts), though not by the Quran.
Postings on RevolutionMuslim.com had said that Parker and Stone could wind up like Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was brutally murdered and mutilated by a Muslim extremist. The individuals running the website later denied that the postings were actual threats, although they were widely perceived as such.
Norris said that if millions of people draw pictures of Muhammad, Islamist terrorists would not be able to murder them all, and threats to do so would become unrealistic. Within a week, Norris' idea became popular on Facebook, was supported by numerous bloggers, and generated coverage on the blog websites of major U.S. newspapers. As the publicity mounted, Norris and the man who created the first Facebook page promoting the May 20 event disassociated themselves from it. Nonetheless, planning for the protest continued with others taking "up the cause".

Did God Create Earth And Universe At The Same Time?by FFreeThinker65,440 views
[Violence in Islam];in order to avoid extensive bloodshed, Islam introduced the unique concept of JIZYA, in S.9:29; if the pagan armies or enemies of Islam were willing to pay jizya & accept subjugation,it was binding to drop the war;it is therefore wrong to say that Islam teaches violence; the suicide bombings started with japanese pilots during WW II, then came to southern India where Rajev Ghandhi was blown up on stage by a suicide female bomber;CONTD
