Happy Draw Mohammed Day!

[CrawlingChaos]

58. You're still so confused

I'm not being an h-word because I've judged you by your own behavior, not unfairly smeared you simply because you're part of an ethnic/religous group. Have I given you a faceful of shit just because you're an atheist? No, I would never do that. If I had, you might rightly accuse me of holding a double standard. But I haven't.

Once again, I'm not the one who moved the goalposts - you did that when you shifted to the anti-choice/creationist tack. I never said anything about it being OK to mock anyone's beliefs, just that someone who seeks to impose their religious beliefs on me can expect me to push back. You're putting words in my mouth.

As to the last point - ONE MORE TIME - no one is forcing you to draw or not draw Mohammed. No one's proposing legislation to make it illegal to do so, and you're perfectly free to draw away. What it is, however, is a clear 'fuck you' gesture to Muslims no matter how you slice it. Just look at the depictions in the thread - Mohammed as a grotesque, leering monster, and in another, a pedophile bear. If those were anti-semitic caricatures, would you be able to see the problem?

You are FREE to do it, but it's an asshole move. It accomplishes nothing but to hurt people who have already suffered so much.
