The WINNERS of the BCF “Everybody Draw Mohammed” Contest are hereby announced:
PS:
I changed my Facebook profile picture to celebrate. (And please “friend” me if you haven’t already.)
Mark Steyn demolishes the liberals’ “deliberate provocation” meme:
I initially had mixed feelings about Everybody Draws Mohammed Day. Provocation for its own sake is one of the dreariest features of contemporary culture, but that’s not what this is about. (…)
the real provocateurs are the perpetually aggrieved and ever more aggressive Islamic bullies — emboldened by the silence of “moderate Muslims” and the pre-emptive capitulation of western media. (…)
I’m bored with death threats. And, as far as I’m concerned, if that’s your opening conversational gambit, then any obligation on my part to “cultural sensitivity” and “mutual respect” is over. The only way to stop this madness destroying our liberties is (as Ayaan Hirsi Ali puts it) to spread the risk. Everybody Draws Mohammed Day does just that.
