Racist!
Not all Semites have brown eyes and big noses...

Amy what has that poor dog ever done to you.. The cruelty of it all..

And yes, if I could draw I would participate.. Maybe I will send this to the hubby who can draw..

Interesting, Amy. I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but you actually may have created what could by the most offensive image to Muslims.

Dogs are considered unclean in Islam and you're not even allowed to have one in your house. So, by making Lucy into Muhammed, you couldn't likely created something they would object to more vehemently if you tried.

Unless...

does anyone here have a pet pig?

Excellent picture! Happy Draw Mohammed Day!

That's the cutest damn prophet I've ever seen.

Amy,

I love your submi--that is your entry in this gala event. You've certainly given me an idea. My dog is black, and very photogenic...

actually I tell all my non dog loving friends that you can see God in a dog's eyes, so perhaps your little prophet is indeed the best representation of the prophet

"Dogs are considered unclean in Islam and you're not even allowed to have one in your house."

Which is just one of the crappy things about that religion of arseholes. Lucy looks adorable! I would like to make a turban for my little pug and then take her picture while she is eating some bacon.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone must be laughing themselves silly right now.

I agree with Kendra, cutest prophet ever. (((:~{>. Best I can do, also can't draw.

I'm sure you've heard that the country of Pakistan is blocking Facebook over this.

I'll be interested to see what happens!

I might just do that, Amy! Besides, it would give me an excuse to fry up some bacon.

Mmmmm ... bacon ...

btw, great drawings on facebook, and some muslims are obviously upset

Awesome. I love it!

Patrick I was just gonna post the same thing about Lucy probably being more offensive.
Amy, you scared of being blown up yet?... *eye roll* Yeah. Me neither.

Makes me want to go home, wrap my terrier in a burka, and feed him some ham.

I 'like'd the Facebook page briefly to check things out. There's some crazy people on both sides posting there. My brain hurts from trying to translate the stupid.

"I 'like'd the Facebook page briefly to check things out. There's some crazy people on both sides posting there. My brain hurts from trying to translate the stupid."

That's why I don't poke the crazy. I can't even begin to imagine the idiocy that would occur if I even posted this on my page.

"Let's hope they respond exactly like the Christians who were upset about Andre Serrano's "Piss Christ" (a plastic Jesus suspended in urine) or Christians who were offended at South Park's Jesus portrayals."

No. They won't respond that way. They will just threaten to blow everyone up as usual. Offended Christians just hold press conferences where they ask the nation pray for the souls of Matt, Trey, and all the fans. On another note, those whiney Christians gave us all a bad name. I'm Christian and find those South Park Jesus portrayals HYSTERICAL! I mean Come On. Get a sense of humor people! Or just don't watch it if your gonna be that friggin offended.

I'm sure you've heard that the country of Pakistan is blocking Facebook over this.

I just read that they're blocking YouTube, too.

Friend just direct-messaged me this on Twitter:

The funniest thing on CNN FB said they ban the depiction of ANY prophet. Yes, b/c drawings of the Prophet Elijah have bn SO controversial.

RIGHT ON AMY ! ! ! ! !

Amy: Morbid curiosity was using Lucy a function of convenience or were you intentionally throwing down the gauntlet, with a little extra fuck you thrown in by using a dog?

Prophet Lucy, peace be upon her!

For the curious, there's a tremendous compendium of Mohammed pictures of every sort at:

http://www.zombietime.com/mohammed_image_archive/

"The funniest thing on CNN FB said they ban the depiction of ANY prophet. Yes, b/c drawings of the Prophet Elijah have bn SO controversial."

Isn't Jesus supposed to be a prophet in Islam too? I seem to recall seeing a depiction of Jesus once or twice . . . .

Off to make my contribution to Draw Mohammed Day

Mohammed is the most popular name among Muslims worldwide. There are hundreds of millions of them out there. So if drawing a little sketch of Mohammed is an act of blasphemy punishable by death, isn't naming someone "Mohammed" much worse? Shouldn't all those false Mohammeds be beheaded? Anyone brave enough to make a Muslim version of "Life of Brian" could have a lot of fun with this.

It's one thing to draw a politically valid cartoon, and another thing as to what South Park is doing. I think it's damned irresponsible to inflame the Muslim community just because we can. Shakespeare had a great line in Henry the Fifth:

"His jest will savour but of shallow wit,
When thousands weep more than did laugh at it."

The title of Salman Rushdie's novel refers to an incident in which Mohammed received a revelation urging Muslims to worship 3 pagan Meccan deities. When his shocked followers asked how he could possibly acknowledge any god but Allah, Muhammad declared that he had been deceived by Satan, and the Satanic Verses were banished from the Koran. A serious novelist wrote a serious novel about an actual event in Islamic history. Does a free man in a free country not have an inalienable right to do so? This was not a pointless, childish provocation, but that didn't stop Muslim fanatics from murdering dozens of people over it.

A Nigerian woman won the 2001 Miss World contest. By pageant tradition, the contest is held in the country of the previous year's winner. The majority of Nigerians were very glad to have Miss World in their country, along with the tourism $$ and publicity that went with it. The Nigerian President himself gave a personal welcome & invitation to the organizers. But a minority of Muslim fanatics found this benign celebration of unveiled female beauty so blasphemous that they went in an orgy of mass murder, slaughtering hundreds of people, hacking children to bits with machetes, tossing babies into burning buildings...

Three years ago, an English schoolteacher in Sudan asked her students what name she should give to the class teddy bear. They all said "Mohammed!" When the imams found out about this, there were huge riots in the streets of Khartoum and demands for her execution. It took an all-out diplomatic effort by several Western countries to get Gillian Gibbons out of jail & out of Sudan alive & in one piece.

I could go on. The point is that Muslims riot & commit mass murder in response to things that no sane person would consider offensive, never mind outrageously provocative. Tip-toeing gently around the delicate sensibilities of rabid murderers & their apologists simply will not do.

There has never been any prohibition on drawing Jesus or Moses, so it's not a valid comparison.
I'm certainly no Muslim apologist- I'd like to see any Mosques that house weapons be leveled and any Imam's that espouse violence be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. But to me this is an exercise in showing we disrespect them and we dare them to react, and it places our citizens and our troops into an even more hostile situation.

If we receive a reaction to this Beslan or 911 style, millions more will weep than feel liberated.

Eric:
There has never been any prohibition on drawing Jesus or Moses, so it's not a valid comparison.
- - - - - - - - - -
For centuries there was no prohibition on drawing Mohammed - very old Persian miniatures and other illuminated manuscripts depict him.

This is a recent prohibition coming out of the increasingly fanatical movement sweeping Islam.

Take a look at the old Muslim illustrations in this archive:

http://www.zombietime.com/mohammed_image_archive/

The proper response to any baiting, be it of Muslim or Christian, is to simply set a better example. In doing so, you would reveal your assailant as the gibbering monkey.

I have corresponded online with a number of self-important "Christians", who call themselves that but are brutal and petty people; I come off looking quite good in such exchanges.

"Amy, you scared of being blown up yet?... *eye roll* Yeah. Me neither."

At the same time, Amy, you are fabulously obvious, as Flaming Wite-out, and no amount of prosecution or justice can undo any physical attack on your person. As we've seen, there are mental cases who cannot stand the idea a woman can be intelligent and attractive and not theirs to own and imprison. You take care already, knowing you're an attractive target for the two-legged pig; take more against the acid-throwing version.

There's room for a little bacon grease in every Hydra-Shok hollowpoint.

Drawings? Who gives a rat's ass about drawings??

If you really want to piss off these loonball fanatics, why not produce a Muslim porn? (I'll be the casting director.) Depict Mohammad playing a little "hide-the-salami" with some hot skanks wearing ONLY veils -- then sit back and enjoy the result.

All proceeds go to the families of 911 victims. Anyone else down with that?

It strikes me that we are placing the Muslim community in a no-win situation. They react, they are barbarians. They don't react, one of us will come up with "Piss Muhammad" and wait for their reaction. This isn't Rushdie or Van Gogh.

Kinda like Phelp's Westboro Baptists, at some point there will be a rightous reaction, and some bystander or cop who is trying to protect their first amendment rights will be caught in the middle. Maybe this time we'll be lucky and it'll just be riots in Karachi where a few shopkeepers get killed.

Remember Joe? I wish Joe was still around for these discussions. He was the smartest guy here on these subjects...

>>>>

When, as you say, Eric, "they react," they kill innocent people over cartoons and fly airliners into skyscrapers because a book of fairy tales told them to do so. By any sane person's definition, they ARE barbarians. And by being barbarians, THEY, not us, are placing themselves in a no-win situation.

I for one applaud the person or people who came up with the "Draw the Diaperhead" exercise, and I'm glad it's getting a lot of attention.

Amy- ask him if he'll share his opinion. I'm really not suggesting I'm the answer man here. I'm just going with my gut on humans react...

I don't have the answers here either, but the flaw in the let's-not-provoke-them argument is that they don't need any provocation. Jihad is an action, not a reaction. The only reason we're enjoying ourselves here reading Amy's blog on our computers is that Charles Martel stopped the spread of Islam into Western Europe in its tracks at the Battle of Tours in 732. Otherwise, the Renaissance & the Enlightenment would have never happened.

If there's an observant Muslim out there somewhere who has written a piece stating that:

A) Everybody-Draw-Mohammed Day is reckless, childish, and an embarrassment to the West,

and

B) Muslims who threaten murder over cartoons, any cartoons, are evil & insane & a disgrace to all Muslims, and Westerners are not subject to any Muslim laws or prohibitions, not now, not ever

I would be very glad to read it.

Mark Steyn has written the best line on this I've read so far.

"I'm bored with death threats. And, as far as I'm concerned, if that's your opening conversational gambit, then any obligation on my part to "cultural sensitivity" and "mutual respect" is over. The only way to stop this madness destroying our liberties is (as Ayaan Hirsi Ali puts it) to spread the risk."

I think getting the internet shutdown like that is tremendous productive. A line was drawn, and the Paks put themselves on the other side of it. Isn't this information we should be glad to have?

Offtopic

As the crest of middle age approaches, I've found a comforting vision of what the sunset years may hold for me.

I think getting the internet shutdown like that is tremendous productive. A line was drawn, and the Paks put themselves on the other side of it. Isn't this information we should be glad to have?

More likely the shutdown was to try and put a lid on it to prevent rioting, rather than to take sides as such. But that's still useful to know. And it gets the point across to the only people who can fix the problem - you can cut yourself off from the world, or you can live in it and not demand others submit to your rules. Whoever thought that is counterproductive needs to consider what the 'moderate Muslims' will think about losing internet access. Will businesses complain? Will those with relatives overseas be upset? Until the pain of fanaticism affects them directly they won't act to control the extremist elements of their culture. Which till now they've signally failed to do.

My goodness, I never realized Mohammed had fleas.

Richard, in light of your comment this seems appropriate

"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum."

Were the 3 'worst' cartoons really drawn by imams? What source did you use? Could you provide a link?

We, The Daring Doggie Death Squad, Find no humor insulting our Image! So we have declared Jack-Rat Terrier Jihad on you! We will gather our forces and... Oh Boy! A squirrel ........

How dare you insult Mohammed by potraying him as a hairly little mutt when everyone knows he is a Great Dane! A pox on you Goddess! Yea, verily...a pox I say!

Did you know that Islam doesn't teach the Ten Commandment?
Did you know that Islam teaches the opposite of the Ten Commandments? No where will you find a lesson on morality, justice, or love of neighbor in the Qur'an?
Did you know that Islam is the only religion that uses Suicide Bombers?
Did you know that Islam is the only religion that murders apostates, who no longer wish to participate in Islamic Criminal Activity?
Did you know that Islam is the only religion that practices Honor Killings?
Did you know that Islam is the only religion that practices Female Genital Mutilation?
Did you know that Islam is the only religion that lashes women, girls, men?
Did you know that Islam is the only religion that cuts off hands, feet, and gouges out eyes of petty thieves?
Can you believe that Islam is the only religion that forces little girls to "marry" depraved Muslim male sex perverts.
Can you believe that Islam is the only religion that relegates women to second class or worse?
Can you believe that Islam is the only religion that legally rapes little girls after they are forced to "marry" depraved Muslim male sex perverts?
Did you know that all 57 Islamic countries are backward Muslim Third World Countries?
Can you believe that Islam is actually a Crime Syndicate?
ALL THE ABOVE IS TRUE.

Dear Amy and fellow readers,

We must understand that Islam's prime directive is the militant conquest of the entire world, mandated by Allah & Muhammed in the Koran's infamous 'Verse of the Sword' & in this hadith: Bukhari (8:387) – Allah’s Apostle Muhammed said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah'"

Islamists have been dutifully following this mandate for 1,400 years, since the time Muhammed left Mecca for Medina. What we are facing is nothing less than an ISLAMIC WORLD WAR that rages on every continent except Antarctica, against everyone and everything “non-Islamic”.

Let’s look at the FACTS. Islam against:
- the Catholics in the Philippines (routine slaughter & beheadings)
- the Christians in Indonesia (routine slaughter & beheadings)
- Australian tourists in Bali (blown up…twice)
- the Buddhists in Thailand (routine slaughter & beheadings)
- the Hindus & Sikhs in India (hundreds of years battling the Islamic Jihad)
- the Jews in Mumbai (slaughtered)
- the Zoroastrians & Baha’i in Iran (virtually exterminated)
- Islamic converts to Christianity in Afghanistan (death fatwa)
- ancient Buddhist statues in Bamiyan, Afghanistan (blown up)
- the Chaldean Christians in Iraq (routine persecution, slaughter & church burnings)
- the Jews in Israel (routine attacks against civilians, threat of 2nd genocide)
- the Jews in Yemen (nearly exterminated)
- S. Korean & German tourists in Yemen (blown up)
- the Coptic Christians in Egypt (routine persecution, slaughter & church attacks)
- the Christians & animists in Sudan (genocide)
- the Christians in Kenya (constant Jihadist threat from Obama’s homies)
- the Christians in Nigeria (routine Jihadist attacks)
- U.S. embassies in Tanzania & Kenya (blown up)
- the athiests in Europe (the prime target)
- the native French in Paris (torched car terrorism)
- Jews in Paris (read the grisly story of Ilan Halimi, a Jewish shop clerk who was kidnapped, tortured and killed in 2006)
- the native Swedes in Malmo (Islamic rape brigades)
- the native Dutch in Amsterdam (routinely terrorized)
- Dutch politicians (Geert Wilders & Ayyan Hirsi Ali – death fatwa)
- Dutch cinematographers (Theo vanGogh savagely murdered by an Islamist in broad daylight)
- Dutch cartoonists (Kurt Westergaard – death fatwa)
- Dutch newspaper editors (Flemming Rose, Jyllands-Posten’s culture editor – death fatwa)
- Train commuters in Spain (blown up)
- Tube commuters in London (blown up)
- Airports in Scotland (blown up)
- Jews in Argentina (blown up)
- Jews in Caracas (blown up)
- Twin Tower office workers in N.Y. (blown up – twice)
- Defense workers in the Pentagon (blown up – airliner jihad)
- Army/Navy military recruiters in Little Rock (gunned down by an Islamist)
- Soldiers in F.t Hood Texas (gunned down by an Islamist)
- Pedestrians at the U. of N. Carolina (run down with an SUV by Islamist)
- Journalists like Daniel Pearl (savagely decapitated by Islamists)
- Nick Berg, Kim Sung-il, Piotr Stanczyk, Jack Hensley, Eugene Armstrong, Paul Johnson (savagely decapitated by Islamists)
- Jewish centers in Seattle (slaughtered by Islamist Jihadist)
- Jewish centers in Toronto (slaughtered by Islamist Jihadist)
- Delta Airlines passengers on Christmas day(underwear bomber)
- Times Square patrons (SUV bomber)

And on, and on, and on……….

It is Islam against everyone, everything, everywhere that is not Islamic.

It is Dar al-Islam against Dar al-Harb. Islam against us, not us against them.

Let’s face the facts and call it what it is. It is not a ‘War on Terror’ against a few ragtag misunderstanders of Islam. It is nothing less than: THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR.

THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR – Muhammed’s evil legacy - it's real.

Kendra@4:35

Yes they were. The best source is here:

I heard on the radio about plans to build a mosque/muslim community center at ground zero that will begin construction 9/11/11. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1278922/Plans-mosque-Ground-Zero.html
The backers of the project say that it is away to push back against extremists and rebuild the area, but this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Why there and why on that date? It feels like a slap on the face. Aren't there other ways they could show their support? They had to know people would be upset about it.

There's a good timeline of events here:

Muhammad meets Chris Hansen for National Draw Muhammad Day.”

“Oh, I was just going to warn her of the dangers of (_meeting people online_) trusting prophets … “

Amy, the thugs aren't reasonable. So, can you beat civility into them with a set of pictures?

Or will that give them an excuse to be even crazier and push the non-thugs in their direction.

Simplest solution, drop a plane load of dead pigs on the Kabba and put an end to this war that has been going on for nearly 1500 yrs

The reason Muslims descend into a frenzy whenever the image of Muhammed is brought up is because they know it will create critical discussion about their ‘holy’ prophet. That simply cannot be tolerated, because when the truth about Muhammed is exposed he is revealed to be a sadistic, violent barbarian.

Muslims have been brainwashed to believe he is some sort of righteous, moral religious leader, but he wasn’t. He was nothing more than a successful Charles Manson who made his living by intimidating, raping, killing, enslaving and looting.

The Koran 68:4 upholds Muhammed as “…an exalted [standard of] character.” Islamic tradition upholds Muhammed as ‘al-insan al-kamil’ or ‘the perfect man’, to be emulated by all Muslims.

The hard truth about Muhammed, as recorded in the Islamic ‘holy’ texts, is that far from being a a ‘holy prophet’ Muhammed was a sadistic sociopath.

Muhammed was a murderer, torturer, amputator, decapitator, slaver, looting stealing thief, rapist, human trafficker, misogynist, sex trafficker, child rapist, sexual deviant, genocidist and self proclaimed terrorist.

Muhammed was perhaps one of the most vile men in the pantheon of human history, a brutal barbarian afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder, consumed by unquenchable sexual lust, greed and power.

By any objective standard, Muhammed should have been incarcerated not venerated, reviled not revered.

Every pathology that afflicts Islam comes directly from this sick man, Muhammed, and the entire world suffers because of him.

If you compare the actions of Muhammed and Jesus, man to man, by any objective standard Muhammed is undeniably an 'anti-Christ'. The same inescapable conclusion can be reached by comparing Muhammed and the Guatama Buddha.

I challenge anyone, Muslim or ‘infidel’, to disprove any of my claims. ‘Infidels’ might try out of simple ignorance or wishful thinking, but Muslims cannot and will not.

Muslims know what I say is true, because it is written in black & white in the Koran, Ahadith and Sirah Rasul Allah, recorded for posterity for all to discover.

Muslims understand if the truth about Muhammed is widely known, the foundation of their entire ‘religion of peace’ collapses, as the savagery of Muhammed cannot be reconciled with higher human virtues like love, forgiveness, tolerance and peace.

Thus, rather than defend their barbarian prince they simply devolve into raging Mohammedan mobs, intimidating, terrorizing, burning, destroying and killing.

I met Amy years ago, and I still have a hard on.

What a bod!

Hmm, better ask the good ole US of A to send Pakistan a few more billion $$ to help smooth over this latest indescretion against the feelings of Islam
