Back in 2005 the Muslim world went off the deep end over half a dozen cartoons.

The rampaging mobs had a distinct chilling effect on free speech.

However since then there has been a growing dissent at the abysmal precedent this sets in self censoring yourself simply because some psychos issue a few death threats.

This recently came to a head with the South Park incident where again some Muslims tried the same old game of issuing death threats. This time however it wasn't going to happen. This time people had had enough. Draw Muhammad (Mohammad?) day was born.

To do my part to support this I did my best to defiantly show that if they wanted to take away my free speech it was going to take more than death threats.

Yet no backlash came. The youtube videos chalked up the best part of a million hits.... and no backlash. The facebook site gains some 40k members, who have already some 2000 images on the draw mohammad site, and still no angry mobs.

Yeah its clear what the score is here. Death threats are only played when they think they can get away with it. Of all the cheap opportunistic cowards.

Well fine... the original schedule goes ahead.
20th May 2010.... The first Annual Draw Muhammad Day.

The bottom line is that if Islam cannot learn to coexist with free speech, then it cannot coexist with the West."

Draw Mo' Day addressed the FIRST level of the debate - the terms of the debate itself, with so many Muslims not EVEN wanting to agree to disagree, but to agree we agree with them, shut up, or not complain when people around us die. All we want is for all of us, the religious majority included, to express how we feel without the threat of reprisals. This exchange now couldn't even take place in countries sharing their censorial approach but it's better for both sides that it did.

Your opening sentence, "I can't stop people from having views" is enough to draw a close to this, at least for today. You're arguing people need to be able to support their claims with sound reason and I completely agree, so trading evidence in praise and condemnation of the Prophet is the second level of the debate to be saved for another day, and until then we can agree to disagree.

@PurushaDesa i cant stop ppl from having views.. my point is... those views have to b supported through context, u cant jst look at rishdie to get ur own opinion....ppl who jst narrow mindedly follow wht people lik rushdie says.. lik make some research and then say something about someone..u do have the right but u own it to the ppl ur giving ur views to, to do some research cuz by not confirming the facts.. u are pushing them to towards the hate u accidently have for someone

@Aliwali14

Those separate points you make reducing the Ayatollah's widely supported fatwa, i.e.; the international death warrant, as a matter of self defence does not answer the original question I posed :

If someone wants to publicly convey the opinion that Mohammed is an anti-Semite and misogynist, what degree of their condemnation would you actually allow them to communicate? What would you deem an acceptable way to portray that view? Because right now, you won't even allow a cartoon.

[PurushaDesa]

@Aliwali14

What are you trying to establish by saying 'thinking' and 'knowing'? Because we've got it wrong about Mohammed we should be silenced? That's not how it works. You like the guy, we don't, and we're both supposed to get our say.

These questions aren't rhetorical now - I'm genuinely asking : if someone has the opinion that Mohammed hates women and Jews, how would you let that person air that view and disapproval of him in public? What level of criticism would you actually accept?

@PurushaDesa yes i will get mad if they call me a murderer.. and ppl often do some crazy stuff when they r mad............ everyone does... u cant blame em... i never said its right... its wrong at a very high level... but to humiliate their religion, their personal faith becuz they were over emotional .... lik yeh target some... make some more sanctions... but why directly go to attack their religion.. u cant justify the targeted humiliation of the religion.

[Aliwali14]

@PurushaDesa yes, i agree. the action cannot be justified. i was never defending their action. i was defending the Character of My Beloved Prophet PBUH. this whole thing is a revenge against what muslims did... thts the best they could come up wid. lik serious.. if a dog barks u dont need to bark at it.. u jst leave it alone... the validation of the fatwa is debatable. if i kill someone out of self defence, and someone calls me a murderer... i will get angry.... next comment --------
