For anyone who misunderstands the point of 'Everyone Draw Muhammad Day':This is not about islamophobia. This is not about repressing anyone, or their ideas. This is about standing up to those who would attempt to wield such repression against others. I heartily acknowledge that there are many Muslims whom are peaceful, loving, social people and may be offended by today. They are unfortunate victims caught in the crossfire of universal rights and religious bigotry. I, nor anyone else participating in today, should feel cause to apologize. There is no more need to apologize for causing offense to religious ideals than there is to apologize for causing offense to any other brand of fiction. Similarly, no religious adherent should ever apologize for their personal belief.
Free speech is for everyone.
