Thread: Americans are scared and hiding

Not even in the Land of the Free you save anymore. Freedom of expression my ass, shut up or hide. No wonder politicians arround the world don't speak up about certain problems.

'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day' cartoonist Molly Norris goes into hiding after radical cleric's fatwa

A warning from extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki prompted a Seattle cartoonist to go into hiding.

The cartoonist behind the recent "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" cartoon has been drawn into hiding after a fatwa was issued for her death.
Molly Norris of the Seattle Weekly has gone into hiding on the recent advice of the FBI after being declared a "prime target" for death by extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in a June issue of "Inspire," an English language magazine.
"The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully," a Seattle Weekly reporter wrote Friday. "But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, 'going ghost': moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity.
"She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor."
Al-Awlaki, who has been linked to the botched Times Square car bomb plot and the shooting massacre on Fort Hood, had singled out Norris and eight others for "blasphemous caricatures" of the Prophet Mohammed.
"A soul that is so debased, as to enjoy the ridicule of the Messenger of Allah, the mercy to mankind; a soul that is so ungrateful towards its lord that it defames the Prophet of the religion Allah has chosen for his creation does not deserve life, does not deserve to breathe the air," he wrote at the time.
Published on her Web site in April, Norris' cartoon - originally intended to mock Comedy Central for censoring an episode that depicted the Muslim prophet Mohammed in a bear suit, - declared May 20 as "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" and promptly created an international controversy. Pakistan blocked access to Facebook after the social networking site featured a support group for the event.
"They left behind personal belongings and written notes ... [saying] they're going to see dead relatives and Jesus," Whitmore said.

Has that sentence got lost and wandered in from a totally separate article or am I being stupid?

Either way, a pox on all their houses. Threatening to kill people for drawing cartoons is almost as stupid as threatening to kill people for spilling your pint. And anyone who starts a 'Draw Mohammad Day' deserves about equal amounts of sympathy.

So, did they die?
Another herman taunt coz he's so jealous of Americans. Never got over that the US whupped his country twice.

Yesterday I posted a message on the Seattle Times that was critical of Islam. It was not in bad taste. Two hours later I saw my post was deleted. Where does this madness end?

Unfortunately, it has always been a death sentence for such act.

as is the way of the religion of peace

Why piss them off? It ain't no secret that they never have and they never will tolerate such act.

Which needs to be exposed from time to time so it becomes harder to deny what the situation really is.

Getting people killed is a worthy cause, IYO?

Happens all the time. The media calls it necessary censoring to weed out the racists and bigots, but what that really means is you either agree with their position within a narrow imbalanced margin of freedom or find somewhere else to post.

Try this experiment: post a realistic though clearly critical view of Islam on an ongoing report, and then use another email address to post an as plausible argument in support. On most mainstream (Zionist controlled ) media sites your second post will make it through.

That guy in the pic is an American, by the way. Something must have gone wrong in his education.

Some people behave strange when someone tells them to wear this, eat that etc. Intimidation is an effective tool in islam....to be fair....in any religion.

Well, maybe they deserved a whooping ?!
But you know what's worse ?
Being a democrat and mouthing off, and then having to run and hide underneath a rock.
Is that what you call a Bitch Slap or whooping?

Probably a bitch slap Herman because a whooping is something else entirely. You might of meant 'whupping' as in; we gave them a mighty big can of whup ass.

Nah, he's just barking mad, the prerequisite for Islamitude.

But what has the world become if we let these dickheads say what we can and cannot draw?

Isn't resisting their fucked up demands a worthy cause?

No bacon served on KFC burgers.

Prayer rooms in hospitals.

Where will it end?

They can do what they like in thier own country, but when they try to dictate how we should live in our own countries they just go too far.

They burn flags and effigys of the west with the intent to piss off, but if we do something that doesn't even have bad intentions, they jump up and down demanding heads on sticks.

Fuck these morons. Not everyone wants to live by thier ancient fucked up beliefs.

The only way to combat extremism is to enlist the moderates.
Calling for draw Mohammed day was as baiting a move as any.

Separate the political agenda from the conveniently used religion and the battle will against progress. Right now it's turning into a pit of hate that will consume us all.
