Today is Draw Muhammed Day.

Why would you Draw Muhammed? Because some people get offended and say you can’t.

You know whats offensive? Killing or attacking people because of a drawing. Censoring people who are exercising their right to free speech, as if free speech is allowed only when it does not offend you.

This event has taken off in a big way. Draw Muhammed Day started off as a couple of kids trying to make a point using a Facebook group. The idea caught on, and it has cannonballed into something big and controversial, you’re going to see a lot of Muhammed pictures across the internet today. Some countries have gone to the extent of banning Facebook and some websites. If moderate Muslims truly believe in free speech, they ought to be supporting the people who are drawing these images, even if they don’t necessarily like them.

Here is my own random rendition of Mo. I was kind of imagining Jesus and Mo in Vegas, having a good time before one of them marries a nine year old. But didn’t think stick figures would get it across. So, for what it’s worth, here is Muhammed in a poker game.
