Now it comes to this; an American woman has had to go into hiding in her own country over threats to her life stemming from her mock idea of "Everybody draw Muhammad day".

As I stated before, Mohammed cartoons have never appeared on this site. I think they are in bad taste. Yet, to issue death threats over them strikes me as beyond asinine.
This bum Anwar al-Awlaki deserves nothing less than a bomb dropping right square on his head.
Of course, the liberal media won't touch this story with a ten-foot-pole. I wonder how CAIR will treat it... stand by, I'll check and see if they have anything on it...........Nope. Not a word from CAIR or the Islamic Society of North America. Of course, both sites are filled, as usual, with reports of "anti-Islamic bigotry". But not a word about fatwas being issued to kill a young American woman who had the affrontery to mockingly suggest a "Draw Muhammed Day".
I have a very serious and sensible idea. How about the millions of Muslims in America holding a public demonstration denouncing all these suspicious organizations like CAIR, denouncing Awlaki, and denouncing the idea that an American woman has to go into hiding in her own country? I still think that American Muslims will be a lot better off when they cast off these "leaders" and groups that supposedly protect their interests but, in reality, are only isolating the American Muslim community from the rest of society.
I'm with you on this. Actually, I did draw Mohammed for "Draw Mohammed Day" and put it on my blog. (It's now up on Alexandria as well.)
ReplyDeleteI think I'll have to point that out the next time Miggie or Findalis accuse me of being some kind of Jihadi sympathizer.
Most American Muslims are too busy expanding local businesses and creating jobs for unemployed Americans to worry about CAIR or any other self-appointed guardians of a faith that has no pope, no curia, no stated clerk, no bishops, and no quadrennial conferences.
ReplyDeleteIf I came up with this idea, and I truly believed it was the right thing to do, I would refuse to go into hiding. I would, however, move to a state where I could legally carry whichever handgun it is that JohnE always recommends, as well as keeping a semi-automatic rifle in my home.
ReplyDeleteMe too, but we are testosterone-laden men, aren't we?
ReplyDeleteAre you saying women can't handle an AR-15? John's beloved wife April would tell us otherwise -- and offer a demonstration of proof also.
