Michael Moynihan has come up with a great idea:
First Annual Everybody Draw Mohammad Day

Via Dan Savage’s blog at The Stranger, some clever chappie (I
don’t know who) has declared May 20, 2010 “Everybody Draw Mohammad
Day,” in support of Matt Stone and Trey Parker and in opposition to
religious thuggery. Why May 20? I haven’t a clue, though it could
have something to do with Otto
ascending the throne of Greece. Or, more likely, King Sancho IV
of Castile’s founding of the Study of General Schools of
Alcalá.

I will be employing my tremendous skill as an illustrator, of
course, and expect that my colleagues will do the same.

Count me in, Michael!

‘South Park’ Episode Is Altered After Muslim Group’s Warning

An episode of “South Park” that continued a story line involving the Prophet Muhammad was shown Wednesday night on Comedy Central with audio bleeps and image blocks reading “CENSORED” after a Muslim group warned the show’s creators that they could face violence for depicting that holy Islamic prophet. Revolution Muslim, a group based in New York, wrote on its Web site that the “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker “will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh” for an episode shown last week in which a character said to be the Prophet Muhammad was seen wearing a bear costume. Mr. Van Gogh was slain in Amsterdam in 2004 after making a film that discussed the abuse of Muslim women in some Islamic societies.

Comedy Central censored South Park from even saying “Muhammed”:

Tim Blair posted Anderson Cooper’s report, including an interview of Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
