Today, May 20th, is Everybody Draw Muhammad Day. I can't draw worth a darn so I created a little animated gif of me flicking my own personal bobblehead Muhammad.
If you don't know about this important day, here is a little explanation from Wikipedia (with edits):
Everybody Draw Mohammed Day is an annual protest in support of free speech, specifically in opposition to those who threaten violence against artists who draw representations of the prophet Muhammad. It began as a protest against censorship of an American television show, South Park, "201" by its distributor, Comedy Central, in response to death threats against some of those responsible for the segment. Observance of the day began with a drawing posted on the Internet on April 20, 2010, accompanied by text suggesting that "everybody" create a drawing representing Muhammad, on May 20, 2010, as a protest against efforts to limit freedom of speech.U.S. cartoonist Molly Norris of Seattle, Washington, created the artwork in reaction to Internet death threats that had been made against cartoonists Trey Parker and Matt Stone for depicting Muhammad in a bear costume in an episode of South Park. Depictions of Muhammad are explicitly forbidden by a few hadith (Islamic texts), though not by the Qur'an. Postings on radical Islamic websites had said that Parker and Stone could wind up like Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was brutally murdered and mutilated by a Muslim extremist.
So, if you want to stand up to those who would threaten your free speech then draw Muhammad...or Mohammed...or whatever the eleutherophobic pedophile's name is.
