Draw-Mohammed-Day Cartoonist Changes Identity

Never mind that Molly Norris had backtracked and disavowed the idea of draw Mohammed day as she never meant to insult Moslems.

Well, Moslems don't accept apologies for insulting their so-called prophet.

From Weasel Zippers, citing the Seattle Times (hat tip to Infidel Bloggers Alliance):

You may have noticed that Molly Norris’ comic is not in the paper this week. That’s because there is no more Molly.

The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully. But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, “going ghost”: moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity.

She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor.

She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection program—except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab.

It’s all because of the appalling fatwa issued against her this summer, following her infamous “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” cartoon....

Another cartoonifada!

Once again, the religion of peace proves that it is not peaceful, nor does Islam allow for freedom of expression, particularly if that freedom of expression is perceived as insulting Islam, Mohammed, the Koran, Moslems. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, to the point of all things Islamic, including naming a nightclub "La Meca"; read the information about the night club at Tea and Politics.

Remember these words of Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984):

They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Video: The Myth of Islamic Spain (With Addendum)

(Note to family and friends: The most recent update on Mr. AOW is here)

As a Spanish major, I found of particular interest the video below from Vlad Tepes. First, you will see a clip from the BBC, a section which whitewashes Islamic rule. Then, you will see two clips which present some inconvenient facts. Please watch the entire video:


As pointed out by Vlad Tepes:

[The BBC] seemed to imply that Spain would be better off under another 700 years of brutal racist oppressive sharia law and Islamic rule.

And at taxpayers' expense, no less.

Furthermore, if you look at most world history textbooks, you will find a glorification of the 700 years of Islamic rule in Spain. Indeed, those years are often referred to as a golden age.

Don't believe it! Don't let your children believe it!

Not all during the period of Islamic rule in Spain was light and beauty.

Balance the whitewash with the truth.

Addendum (some factual reading): The Persistent Myth of Andalucia
