Hooray for Draw Mohammed Day!

The kids who came up with the idea have already pussed out. They thought people would submit nothing but respectful drawings of Mohammed. Apparently, yesterday was their first day on the internet.

Couple things. First, you weren’t supposed to make drawings of Mohammed, as I understand it, so his followers wouldn’t worship his image. And the prohibition is relatively recent.

So there’s nothing at all in Islam about infidels drawing Big Mo. I mean, not that I’d care, but it’s technically not even an issue.

Second, the “death threat” came from a true blue American boy who was doodling pentagrams in his High School notebook two years ago. Now he’s twenty, he’s grown a scraggly beard, wears a doily on his head and has converted to a dumbass whitebread kid’s vague understanding of Islam. He lives with his mama.

In other words, it’s a pretend death threat from a make-believe Muslim. Which makes Comedy Central’s censorship act look even stupider.

And takes all the fun out of bravely defying it.


Feel free to keep going in the Favorite Scars thread. I’m enjoying that one. I think Glenster’s dad’s flesh-eating bacteria scar is my favorite.

Though mesa’s ironing board accident has a certain charming Wile E. Coyote quality. I imagine the iron turning over a couple of times in the air before landing on his little face.

That’s it. Weasel wins it on her first try. The matchbook cannot be beat. That’s it. End of game. That is so perfect!

It’s stuff like this that makes me wish I had an artistic bone somewhere in my body. Unfortunately, the only thing I’ve ever had any success drawing is flies.

Yay me!! I’ll have to get out my crayons (the only artistic media I’ve had any experience with) and see if *I* can’t win something cool, like a fatwah or a beheading or something! 🙂

Hmm, I think I’ll just put a sign on the dog poop that the neighbors dog leaves for me each and every fucking morning!

Great pic Mz Weazie, definitely t shirt worthy.

[…] did you hear the latest? The person who came up with “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” chickened out. It turns out this fearless fighter against fanatical Muslim jackasses who want to push people […]

The truely frustrating part of the whole thing is that every prominent muslim that I have seen interviewed in the U.S. has thrown out a major WTF! about the whole thing with South Park, because they recognise that threatening Trey Parker and Matt Stone is by far more damaging to Islam than a couple of chuckleheads poking fun at religious symbols.

I say boycott Comedy Central advertisers until they grow a pair…..

The headline “Creators of ‘Everybody Draw Muhammad Day’ drop gag after everybody gets angry” could only have come from the dorkwad MSM.

One idiot was upset because his pretend faith was pretend insulted. The Muslims I work with could care less about killing a cartoonist — unless he works for al-Jazeera…

Mrs Compton: I’m pretty sure you could train the pooch to curl out something offensive in Arabic. If these dorkwads can find ‘Allah’ written inside a melon, I’m pretty sure the same is true of a turd.

Oh good point David, I think I’ll bring out my two, I’m sure between the three of them we can get the whole thing out!

Ouch! 🙂

“Mrs Compton: I’m pretty sure you could train the pooch to curl out something offensive in Arabic. If these dorkwads can find ‘Allah’ written inside a melon, I’m pretty sure the same is true of a turd.”

Ah, but you can’t sue anyone for a melon, or demand a redesign. Burger King, on the other hand….

Oh, yeah — the “Allah Ice Cream Flap.”

BK should have issued a statement that it did not intend to be intimidated by an illiterate. That swirl doesn’t even look like *sloppy* Arabic, and I’ve seen some sloppy Arabic.

Does anyone else read the story JuliaM linked to, see the word ‘sacrilegious’ and hear Homer saying, “mmm, sacrilicious!”

DG: Yep. In fact, I’ll think I’ll just grab some insulin and some rocky road…huh, guess that wasn’t Homer I was hearing.

Found your awesome pile o’ stuff via Innocent Bystanders, and I’d like to axe you for cordial permission to lift your “Draw Mohammed Day” matchbook cover, with linky credit of course.
