Draw Muhammad Day
As an artist and self-proclaimed peaceful freedom fighter, I cling to my first amendment rights. This is not because I believe the right to free speech is powerful enough to protect me from repercussions. It is because of my belief that this right SHOULD be powerful enough. When large corporations conspire with religious zealots to stop people from creating art or speaking truth, everyone must do what they can to stop them. This is what I can do: draw Muhammad.
I am very critical of religion, and I refuse to follow the teachings of anyone that promotes ignorance or violence. If Muhammad is as violent and intolerant as some of his followers, he does not deserve to be followed. If he is a kind and peaceful prophet, he not only deserves our worship; he also deserves for all people to stop committing atrocities in his name.
You can judge any religion by the actions of its followers.
