Really, Ann? Just exactly how are we "hurting" them? Is it really going to change their lives one teeny tiny bit if someone draws a picture of Mohammed? And as for the offending bit - I'm so tired of folks that are offended by anything and everything. You know what? They offend me by their constantly taking offense."But depictions of Muhammad offend millions of Muslims who are no part of the violent threats. In pushing back some people, you also hurt a lot of people who aren't doing anything (other than protecting their own interests by declining to pressure the extremists who are hurting the reputation of their religion)."
As for those millions of Muslims who are not part of the violent threats? I haven't exactly been bowled over by their denouncing their violent brethren. No siree, the voices of the "moderate" Muslims are pretty quiet. Even when their brethren saw off people's heads, the silence is deafening. Get real, Ann. Muslims are not some happy clappy Protestant mega-church group of worshippers. They are biblical descendants of violent, anti-Christian warriors who wish to rule the earth. In their world it's Islam or death.
I do agree with Ann that the whole idea of Draw Mohammed Day is not a good idea. Here's why. It's juvenile, petty, and a complete waste of time. Instead of drawing Mohammed, how about doing some praying, or write a letter to your Senator or Congressman, or even take a nap? Much better use of your time.
That's my two cents worth. What's yours?
