The "Draw Mohammed Day," marked on May 20, was started as a
demonstration in defense of free speech, inspired by the so-called
Danish cartoons, which depicted the founder of Islam. Needless to say,
that didn't work well - the usual Muslims response when their religion
is discussed in an unflattering way is threats and more threats. Because
of the Muslim death threats, Molly Norris, who started the event, had
to go into hiding and change her name. She disappeared completely and
nobody knows whether she is dead or alive.
In Toronto the event was marked by the free speech activist Eric
Brazau. Again, needless to say, that event didn't go well either...

This problem could be solved overnight, if
evangelicals would just pick up their game.
