Ok, so this just came to my attention through a facebook page, then I found out about the south park episodes and the origin of this supposed day, due for this thursday. There's a wiki article on it, and a good read(with the original picture that sparked it);
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody_Draw_Mohammed_Day
Now this obviously isn't the first time muhammed based controversies have popped up, and I'm hoping this thread will be a good one and not degenerate, tho I've got alot of good faith in our members to keep it at a reasonable level of debate.
I'm intrigued by a number of issues surrounding this kind of controversy, and interested in other people's views. The facebook page for it is quite interesting too, as it's being completely uncensored in line with the original point of the 'protest'(i put it like that, because some will deny it's a protest). The facebook page has some VERY extreme views on it, but amusingly it's extremist on all sides, then it has some people who are being rational and sensible, trying to argue their points, again on both sides.
The biggest issue for me however, is the obvious and main one, why CAN'T we draw pictures of mohammed? Why are we not allowed equality in our offending of others? I'd make this longer, but I'll leave it here til I get some more opinions, plus I want some breakfast.
Anyway, discuss!
