Everybody Draw Muhammed Day

[Snarky00]

I was gonna watch that southpark episode, they certainly interfered with my ability to do that.

If I wanted to draw Muhammed, I wouldn't want anyone interfering with it. That's why I was extremely bothered by the reaction to the Danish comic. This just seems like harrassing someone for their religion. I'm all for Jesus and Muhammed on South Park and I don't care if they look silly while doing it, because that's freedom of speech. This is freedom of speech, but I just don't see the point other than being inflammatory. Not to say that you can't draw Muhammed if you want for a message, because that's freedom of speech; but then I'd expect to be criticised for it, because that's freedom of speech.

The danish comic, even if it wasn't of Mohammad, was extremely offensive anyways. The turban being a bomb? It's seriously not different from Peter Pan's indians singing about why their skin is red, or black people dancing around eating watermelon singing about why they love working in the field, or yellow asain people that don't make any l or r sounds but instead spit jibberish. IT'S STILL WRONG.

Anyways, the artist that made the viral comic and the dude that founded the facebook page both have officially taken removed themselves from the movement. Apparently they are surprised by the hurtful stuff people are making. Yeah, I believe it.

The reason we stress it is because we've seen Christians take Jesus and worship him as a god. If not for such a strong stance we would have the same thing. I must say I haven't seen any real muslim outrage against south park, only extremists. It's only being played up because of the whole Middle East conflict.

Jesus is considered to be their embodiment of god. I think a more apt comparison would be if Christians worshiped Moses as a god instead of treating him favorably as a prophet. I am kind of curious why Muslims stress the importance of Muhammad seemingly more then they stress the importance of Allah. Maybe that is just the american media's portrayal.

What I don't understand is the reasoning behind not drawing Muhammed i.e. Islam canon says he was a guy and guys have faces ERGO he had a face. If there was a photograph from that time, would we be banned from seeing it?

What you don't know is he looked like the elephant man, thus the embarrassment.

[Cirtur]

He had a scar across his head which spelled poo.

I mean in Arabia that doesn't mean anything.

No wonder they are always fighting.

It's like the Fairly Odd Couple. But with more anger.
