Everybody Draw Muhammed Day

Post Reply New Topic

Some even poop in a jar and call it Jesus. Of course they call it "art" but that's another issue entirely.

And i'm not sure but the idea that depictions of Muhammad are prohibited mostly comes from the wahabism current that stemmed from Saudi Arabia. I reckon reading that when the movement kicked up, they destroyed all effigies of the prophet and most works of art. That and, whatever could polute their faith such as western culture. =/ Meh, memory could be failing, but that's what i remember.

I wouldn't normally post anything like this but I have been moved to do so by Everyone Draw Mohammed, Jihad Watch, Northern Ireland's David Vance, among others.

I can't draw for toffee so I've borrowed one of the Motoons and stuck the Danish and Union flags on the side.

Free speech is an integral part of our society. Without it our freedoms become meaningless.

Our country has been under threat by totalitarians of all kinds of stripes - first Hitler's Germany, then the terrorists of the IRA and the Soviet Union and our latest threat - Islamic fundamentalism.

Me, I have no issue with peaceful Muslims who want to get on with their lives like the rest of us. I am against the ban on face-coverings which is one of the current policies of my party, UKIP. I believe that this is illiberal and that we should, as equal citizens, be able to wear what we please.

But this freedom of speech thing is non-negotiable I'm afraid. Sorry.

Several instances in which free speech has been threatened in the West by Islamist extremists include:

- The murder of Theo van Gogh
- The leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom having to live under constant police guard
- The entire Danish cartoon fiasco and the intimidation of the Jyllands-Posten cartoonists
- The medieval clothing that Muslim women are often coerced into wearing. I'm against banning it but that doesn't mean I have to like it in the same way that I don't like seeing teenage boys with their underwear showing for the simple reason that it looks utterly ridiculous
- The threatening of the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone

This is not on.

We in Britain have spent centuries fighting to maintain our civil and religious freedoms and we are not about to let it be taken from us by mad mullahs in funny little hats.

Like our Danish friends, we like eating of pork. We like drinking lots of alcohol. We like leering at scantily-clad ladies. You can enjoy all these things too if you like. Or you can choose not to. That's the great thing about choice. But impose your twisted values on the rest of us and there will be big trouble.

This is not an attack on the followers of the Islamic religion. This is chiefly an attack on Islamic fundamentalism and a call for the restoration and maintenance of free speech for all citizens.

This was written after a lengthy session in the pub and a meal composed of pork sausages and mashed potato. Sue me.

I look at it like this. Muhammad has no face.. drawing him is offense to some people so why bother? why let something bother you that much.. that you go out of your way to draw it? Yeah you can out of freedom, but it's ignorant. Just leave it alone.

Of course. Everyone knows that Semitic prophets look like effeminate Northern European men.

Moses has such lovely piercing blue eyes don't you think?

Freedom, responsibility and justice are the bedrocks of Britishness.

About face topic

Mo's mug shots.

The possibility of violent reprisal is an infringement on the right of free speech. A is offended by what B says. Does that give A the right to physically harm B?
