STANDARD-EXAMINER
By Gregory Clark
UTAH---Monday May 20 is "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day," a day when people draw together to protest against threats to artists who portray Mohammed, and to protest against censorship. They can't kill us all. And they can't silence us all, either. Or so one would hope. Which will you choose: Intimidation? Or freedom? [link]
In September 2005, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published several cartoons lampooning Mohammed, knowing that Muslims consider images of Mohammed to be blasphemous. The result? Violent protests that killed hundreds of people, international boycotts, and death threats and attacks against the cartoonists. Cowed into silence, most U.S. newspapers and outlets have refused to show the original cartoons. And yes, some Muslims may again resort to violence, just as the mythical but revered Moses slaughtered 3,000 people for the blasphemy of the golden calf (Exodus 32:26-28). But that should not stop us.
