'Draw Mohammed Day’ Cartoonist Changes Identity, Goes Into Hiding Over ROP Death Threats
From Weasel Zippers:
(Seattle Weekly) — You may have noticed that Molly Norris’ comic is not in the paper this week. That’s because there is no more Molly.
The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully. But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, “going ghost”: moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity.
She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor.
She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection program—except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab.
It’s all because of the appalling fatwa issued against her this summer, following her infamous “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” cartoon.
Norris views the situation with her customary sense of the world’s complexity, and absurdity. When FBI agents, on a recent visit, instructed her to always keep watch for anyone following her, she responded, “Well, at least it’ll keep me from being so self-involved!” It was, she says, the first time the agents managed a smile

Pastorius,
Even after she chickens out, they won't let up. They're determined to make sure no one dares even suggest that someone does something critical of their religion. People need to understand how vital it is that we show them that they can not get away with this.

Switzerland: Calling for Sharia law protected by freedom of speech
The secretary of the Muslim Community of Basel has been acquitted of publicly inciting crime and violence.
The charges were pressed after the 33-year-old made comments in a Swiss television documentary in April saying that Sharia law should be introduced in Switzerland and that unruly wives should be beaten.
The judge said that the secretary of the Muslim organisation was protected by freedom of expression.

They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
Perhaps Jefferson's dictum on watering the tree of liberty should be the basis for ending the lives of those who threaten it.
WHY DO WE HAVE A CIA ANYWAY?
Epa,
We'd have to kill an awful lot of people, wouldn't we?
Basically, you are proposing that we ought to pursue the same strategy here in America that we pursue in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
In my opinion, that strategy would work no better here than it does there.
What do you think?
I guess it all comes down to how many moderate Muslims there are.

Why? What has she done wrong?
How come the imam [Rauf] doesn't have the same sudden and un-contrroled urge to change his identity?
Why isn't he hiding under ground like a rat as Naseerallah does in Beirut and invites Mr. O'Reilly to his palace in NY swage system for interview, huh?
Huw come any Muzie scum walks the streets with his nose stuck in the clouds, surounded by FBI 'Gorillas' and US Marshals, and spits on MY FACE !!!
Did the stupid effing FIBBIES at least enable her to get a gun and train her in how to use one?
Nooooooo... some poor widdle mooslimb might get a boo-boo.
You're under death threat from murderous thugs, Ms. Norris, sorry but there's nothing we can do, can't hurt their feelings, you will just have to turn your life upside down.
SPIT.
I wonder if she is still a Liberal.
