Cartoonist Molly Norris Lets the Terrorists Win Again (Eric Lurio, Puff Ho)
Molly Norris is neither brave nor heroic. She eventually apologized to the extremists, who had sent her a few death threats, and renounced the movement she started as it snowball into something huge. And what’s worse, Norris pretty much said the terrorists were right. To quote her website:
I did not ‘declare’ an “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.”What Molly Norris initially did was the right way to address the problem: fight terrorism with humor, intelligence, and panache. The response was threats of murder. She backed down and apologized to her oppressors. I guess she didn’t want to end up like Gandhi.
I made a cartoon of a satirical poster with a fake group behind it (Citizens Against Citizens Against Humor). It was solely a concept about Comedy Central’s over reaction to a threat from revolutionmuslim.com, and their consequent decision to censor the television show South Park.
My cartoon was taken seriously & hijacked by people who used it to make facebook pages.
Terrorism works.
It works because we allow it to work. It works because we have allowed millions of Muslims to settle behind what they perceive to be enemy lines. It works because the people who are sworn to protect us have deceived us. Dereliction of duty, on a grand scale. It works because of political correctness which stifles any debate. Because most of us fear being shouted down as ‘racist, bigot Islamophobes’. And so the criminal cult of Islam, a murderous, genocidal organization, is allowed to continue to threaten, to blackmail, to terrorize, to bully and to assassinate those who oppose the spread of this dreadful belief system.
BBC
A US artist whose satirical cartoon inspired an internet campaign inviting people to draw images of the Prophet Muhammad has disappeared into hiding, her newspaper has said.
Molly Norris, who disavowed the movement that provoked outrage in the Islamic world, has moved and changed her name, the Seattle Weekly said.
She fled after FBI agents warned she was in danger, the newspaper wrote.
Depictions of the Prophet Muhammad are forbidden in Islam. (Perhaps. But we are not Islamic. Not yet. Cartoons are not forbidden in America, and its high time that we fight Islamic efforts to stifle freedom of speech.)
The Seattle Weekly wrote that Ms Norris was “moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity”.
Muhammad row cartoonist ’sorry’
“She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection programme,” it said, but without government aid.

Wouldn't the people who want to smoke her be considered 'radical islamists' and therefore enemies of the US? Shouldn't any US citizen be afforded the full backing and protection of the US government if threatened by our enemies?
This is crazy-ass bullshit stuff when we can't help our own people in our own country, but have plenty of cash to blow on non-citizens.
cjk,
Our government is very invested in the idea that we have no problem.
Our government is like an alcoholic who refuses to admit he is an alcoholic.
Black Rain,
I like your phrase:
Mohammed Followers = MoFos
Yea... it is totally appropriate.
i only have one hand, typing with one finger is very difficult, it is easy to make errors, i try to abbreviate as much as i can.. it just fell in place... it was a common insult in the 60's in high school.

I agree. Seriously, this is something that we should never have allowed to happen.
Molly's theme song: The Bellamy Brothers - Jalapenos
Well it seems like more and more we're being stifled.
All them colorful words I once used are wrong
So before we lose our free speech and our rifles
Allow me to elaborate in this song
Chorus
Life aint nothing like a bowl of cherries,
There’s too little laughter and too much sorrow.
It’s more like a jar of jalapenos,
Cause what you do and say today, It don’t go away and stay
It‘ll just come back and burn your ass tomorrow.
I’ve heard them politicians empty promises.
All their views just put mine to the test
They put me down for thinkin bout girls and singin bout Jesus
Hey I’m just a heterosexual white boy Methodist
Chorus
Life aint nothing like a bowl of cherries,
There’s too little laughter and too much sorrow.
It’s more like a jar of jalapenos,
Cause what you do and say today, It don’t go away and stay.
It‘ll just come back and burn your ass tomorrow
Now there’s a complicated question
on the worlds most brilliant minds.
It’s being asked by every body from Obama, to Glenn Beck.
They all want to know why there’s a warning,
on them little blue pills
When there aint no such thing as being too direct,
Oh, what the heck.
Chorus
Life aint nothing like a bowl of cherries,
There’s too little laughter and too much sorrow.
It’s more like a jar of jalapenos.
Cause what you do and say today, It don’t go away and stay
It‘ll just come back and burn your ass tomorrow.
Cause what you do and say today, It don’t go away and stay
It‘ll just come back and burn your ass tomorrow.
if Molly was one of those freaks who want to get rid of all the guns... i bet she has changed her tune by now..
Black_Rain,
If she was pro gun control, I wouldn't be surprised if she no longer is. She probably never thought this would happen to her, ever.
She never thought this would happen to her because she is probably one of those people who has a "COEXIST" bumper sticker on her car.
I see that damned COEXIST bumper sticker way too often here in dhimmified Northern Virginia.
