It’s on: “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” set for May 20th
posted at 9:50 pm on April 23, 2010 by Allahpundit
Someone at Dan Savage’s blog started it, then Michael Moynihan at Reason picked it up, now I feel obliged to help push it out there. Says Moynihan:
I will be employing my tremendous skill as an illustrator, of course, and expect that my colleagues will do the same. If they refuse, they will be declared weak-kneed, namby-pamby, quisling infidels and will be shamed on this blog (Though such idle threats rarely work these days; perhaps I could threaten them with a painful death, which seems to do the trick). If readers would like to show their solidarity, please email your Mohammad masterpieces to me here: mmoynihan at reason.com. The best ones will be published on Hit & Run, which, along with the concomitant death threat, is reward enough.
Cue the predictable media squealing that “you’ll only antagonize them!” Antagonism, actually, is an idea straight out of the Hirsi Ali playbook: Her point to Anderson Cooper in the clip I posted earlier was that only by sharing the risk of retaliation for blasphemy can the public help protect her, Parker, Stone and other insolent infidels. If each threat produces more blasphemers than it silences, then threats suddenly become counterproductive. Or at least, they do to rational minds. (A flaw in the theory?)
While you mull your contribution, here’s an interview Ben Shapiro did with Comedy Central honcho Doug Herzog last year, in which Herzog seems to say that they probably shouldn’t have censored the depiction of Mohammed in “South Park” a few years ago. Funny how a few new threats can get people to reconsider.

Ugh. My art skills are feeble. Probably just going to draw a stick man and a stick kid, label the stick man Muhammed the Kiddy Raper, label the kid a 9 year old girl, and let the magic go from there.
MadisonConservative on April 23, 2010 at 9:56 PM
Somehow I suspect the edgy, independent artists so fond of challenging authority by crafting sacrilegious artwork of Christian icons will unfortunately have a prior engagement that day.

maybe we should have a “piss on Mohammed” day too? Or maybe some NEA artwork in that same vein…

Just draw a picture of a New York cabbie. Who’ll know the difference?
kurtzz3 on April 23, 2010 at 9:58 PM
Yeah, but it’s a whole lot easier to sit on your fat a$$ and complain about Bush and the GOP turning the country into Nazi Germany. Plus, you get cash prizes for doing that. Get it: Bush = Hitler…hahahahahaha.

I always thought that Mahomet and Aisha in repose would make a lovely painting if executed in the style of one of the Old Masters, perhaps Rembrandt.
On a side note, it’s a pity so few paint that way these days; and those that do have such skill, like Rockwell did, are mocked by the artistic establishment.
Inkblots on April 23, 2010 at 10:04 PM
I’m thinking a Mohammed and Mr Hanky tribute to South Park.

As I suggested on another thread, how about a game of Pictionary, where all of the answers involve Mohammed:
“Mohammed marrying his child bride”
“Mohammed putting infidels to the sword”
“Mohammed receiving the Koran”
You get the idea….
notropis on April 23, 2010 at 10:10 PM
Just to be clear, this is Mohammed the noted pedophile, not the Washington area sniper who was executed, right?

Ha ha, I get it, a trick question. The Koran was not written down until long after his death, to replace the odd pieces of wood and so on that had scribblings on them.

Hey, there’s a bunch of hotties lining up to do a boob quake for Mohammed, er Islam, er those whackjob imamas in iran…maybe the Mohhammed draw in should go the next day. Test the boob hypothesis on day one, and the utter disrespect of mohammed on day 2… If the world falls apart on day 1, then all of us boob guys will die happy men. If it falls apart on day 2, then all the mohammeds will die happy men too

Allahpundit is the Mohammed. It is his secret identity. Uses it to advocate atheism to Christians, so that they will be more easily taken over.

Creating lame cartoons to mock a figure of somebody’s religion doesn’t excite me, sorry. If you honestly care about people dying in the name of the Koran, you should be doing something constructive, like opening up a dialogue with the Muslim world. And, unless you plan on systematically eliminating them, Islam isn’t going anywhere. Clownish behavior won’t change that.
