Along with many other bloggers in America and around the world, I’m promoting – and will participate in – the First Annual Everybody Draw Mohammad Day!

Why? Because everybody has a right to exercise freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion, even if doing so offends the religious sensitivities of the more barbaric followers of a religious faith that revels in terrorism and is itself nothing but a hodge-podge of blasphemous heresies against Christianity and Judaism.

Oh, you mean “Why NOW?” Well, because of the current South Park fiasco, of course, in which Comedy Central has cravenly capitulated to the terroristic threats of those fine, upstanding followers of the cult of MuHAMmad at Revolution Muslim. While they are quite free to do so, those of us who disagree with the cowardly corporate clowns who have done so are equally free to excoriate the ball-less broadcast buffoons and the backwards, basement-dwelling boy-lovers to whom they surrendered without a shot being fired.

To any and all Muslims who read these words and are offended, let me be perfectly clear – offending you and violating your religious strictures is exactly what I am doing, because I know it offends you, and because I have every moral and legal right to do so. In doing so, I cause you no harm whatsoever. I take no property that belongs to you, I inflict no physical harm upon you, I interfere with no right that you have. I simply express thought and beliefs that you do not like, something that you have no right to stop or interfere with. After all, I am not bound by Islamic law or the religious taboos of a faith I reject.

Don’t like what I have done, said, or believe? POUND SAND! Better yet, spend your time actively stopping the jihadi scum who commit terrorist deeds in your name, the e-hadi slime who spew threats on the internet, and the host of mullahs, imams, ayatollahs and other assorted religious leaders who claim that there is a right to engage in violence to spread your faith and silence those of us who do not accept your religious claims. But know that I will take every threat of violence – explicit or implicit – directed against me or my family with the utmost seriousness. And also know that any effort to at physical intimidation or assault will be met with an exponentially disproportionate use of force in response…

Look -- a Facebook Group!
