Fuck Muhammad!!!

[HairOfTheDog]

There was another "Draw Muhammad" contest event held in Phoenix yesterday; no fatalities this time.

I don't think the question of who can draw the most compelling version of the Islamic prophet is the point of these events at all. I think they're simply fronts to gain exposure for anti-Islam activists and to draw the ire of radical (and peaceful) Muslims. If so, they seem to be working to some degree -- they've at least gotten IS to react.


Armed anti-Islam activists defiled the Koran and waved around depictions of the Prophet Muhammad in Phoenix Friday night. In an event that led to angry clashes between protestors and counter-protestors holding a Love Rally across the street, these individuals stood their ground despite threats from Islamic extremists. ISIS called for lone wolf attacks on the man who had planned the Draw Muhammad contest. Members of the terrorist group even took to social media and posted the home address of Jon Ritzheimer, the anti-Islam creator of the event that had close to 500 in attendance.

I think the event facades are stupid, personally.

But, the event organizers, the attendees, and the Muslim protestors all have a right to protest and express their beliefs, so long as they don't break the law in the process.

I wonder if Arizona will host more of them and/or if they'll start being held across the country?
