Go back to your cave...freedom of speech in a democracy isn't about ones belief...
it's about freedom to express personal thoughts and views...good or bad.
Respects
To be very clear...rational people do not "draw Mohammed".
Educated people do not draw Mohammed.
And surely- only idiots draw Mohammed.

And those idiots get innocent men women and children killed...for what? a broken idea of western freedom. YOU HAVE NO FREEDOM....and if you are indoctrinated by media to draw Mohammed- you also have no freedom of thought.

Not sure which forum to post something like this . . .
In light of the horrible terror attacks in Paris the other day,
and finding out that the murderers were aligned with Islam,
and supposedly avenging the disrespect of Muhamad through
cartoons, and the massive Unity March going on now, what
could I do, to make a counter-statement against this type
of extremism . . .
DUH !
Make cartoons depicting Muhamad !
Maybe it's not a great idea, you tell me. I just think if enough
of us do it, to demonstrate the beauty of F R E E D O M,
we could begin to show these terrorists that they cannot win.
And that murdering cartoonists & publishers will only make
them more dispicable in the world's eyes.
If you want to insult the terrorist then make cartoons of the terrorist not Muhammad. It makes no sense to insult the whole religion when you only want to insult a few psychopaths.

Why would anyone have to think about it at all?
Meaning, sitting at your desk, you're mind wanders on various subjects and you just start doodling. You're thinking about religion and start drawing leaders.
Why should I have to stop and say: "I can't draw that because of someone else's belief".
That's just stupid.
Respecting a persons belief in no way requires me to follow their belief.

Wrong!
This is a new age...everyone does not have to agree with the thoughts of others... good or bad, it's about the ability to express their God given right to agree or disagree... without causing harm to their fellow man.
Respect.

I agree, and I think we should take it further.... Ban women from education, eliminate their right to vote, mandate that they cannot drive a vehicle, and can be stoned to death for adultery. The only permissions given them are those granted by their husbands.
We also MUST make it a capitol crime to portray the prophet in any slanderous, satirical, or parody ways. A crime punishable by death.

You know what, I think I will. Any ideas on how to depict him?
And could anyone besides the site administrators/owners trace
my identity?
I guess so.
Perhaps if I do a cartoon, I could somehow anonymously have it
given out, you know- like people putting out flyers.
This subject is already being debated on the news, so why not.

That is a sad fact. MOST Americans didn't know who Mohammed was until an American TV show (during a time of war) indoctrinated us all.
If you are drawing Mohammed and posting it online or anywhere- your intent is to anger men and women who carelessly murder innocent people and have proven time and time again they will do so.
Intent is the problem here. Not freedom. Not rights. Not drawing privileges.

Responding to what is deemed offensive material is where the full responsibility lies. Not on the person expressing it ------ unless they cross the line of personal threat.
The Mohammed cartoons did not cross any line of personal threat.

Interesting thread: Maybe it isn't about the cartoons
