Support the 1st Amendment - Draw Mo

Due to the recent calls for violence against many artists in Europe and America because of depictions of Mohammed, any depictions, not just "offensive" ones, Dan Savage has declared May 20, 2010 as Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.

Michael C. Moynihan at Reason has taken the ball and run with it.

I will be employing my tremendous skill as an illustrator, of course, and expect that my colleagues will do the same. If they refuse, they will be declared weak-kneed, namby-pamby, quisling infidels and will be shamed on this blog (Though such idle threats rarely work these days; perhaps I could threaten them with a painful death, which seems to do the trick). If readers would like to show their solidarity, please email your Mohammad masterpieces to me here: mmoynihan at reason.com. The best ones will be published on Hit & Run, which, along with the concomitant death threat, is reward enough.

Allah Pundit at Hot Air is spreading the word.

So, all of you artists out there....heck, non-artists too, be creative. Draw Mohammad. Send it in. Show how much you respect those thugs that threaten civilized people.
