“Everybody Draw Mohammed” cartoonist placed on hit list

16 Jul 2010

Prominent Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki has placed the cartoonist responsible for the Everybody Draw Mohammed Day campaign on an hit list. Writing in English language Al Qaeda magazine Inspire, New Mexico born al-Awlaki branded Molly Norris a blasphemer and declared that she “does not deserve life, does not deserve to breathe the air”. In April 2010, Norris started a Facebook group encouraging people to draw Mohammed, in retaliation to Comedy Central’s decision to edit South Park’s depiction of the Islamic prophet, which resulted in Pakistan blocking the social networking site. The FBI has warned Norris of what they consider to be “a very serious threat”.

    Any of you idiots who still think Islam is a religion of “peace”, or, even a religion at all, this cleric’s escapade should convince even the biggest idiot among you that Islam is a bloodthirsty cult, bent on World domination. How many American Muslimsm have spoken out against this clerics call for the death of the journalist? NONE? that’s right, because all Muslims adhere to the same barbaric aet of Sharia Laws. And, NO MOSQUE near Ground Zero.
