Introducing My Contribution to Everybody Draw Muhammad Day – Buddy Muhammad

Flexing my free expression muscles, I am participating in Everybody Draw Muhammad Day.

I’m not an artist, so my drawing is extremely amateurish: I used MS Paint. But, it’s my Allah-given right to draw what I wish regardless of whom I may offend. That said, my drawing is especially meant as a slap in the face to the Jihadists masquerading as moderate Muslims. Organizations like CAIR sell themselves as our friends when indeed they are anything but. Mohammed was a violent, insidious man which is why the  Koranic scriptures are bipolar – the ever benevolent, ever merciful Allah orders the death of infidels and their infants. Most Muslims may not ascribe to Jihadist thought, but the Jihadists have the upper hand because a) they are tolerated by sympathetic ”moderates” and b) they’ve built a theological foundation based on the violence-related scriptures in the Koran.

For those of you who think it’s disgraceful, disrespectful, pointless or foolhardy to depict Muhammad, think again. First consider that Muhammad has been depicted throughout the ages. Second, consider that “most Shi’a scholars accept respectful depictions and use illustrations of Muhammad in books and architectural decoration, as have Sunnis at various points in the past.” Shi’as represent the vast majority of Muslims. Additionally, “most contemporary Sunni Muslims believe that visual depictions of the prophets generally should be prohibited.” So, even some Sunnis have no problem with Muhammad deceptions? There’s a clue.

I am not participating in Everybody Draw Muhammad Day to offend Muslims. I am participating to demonstrate to the Jihadists and the American Left that they have failed to intimidate me into silence or compliance. I am participating to prove that freedom of speech and freedom of expression still exist in America.

Lest it gather dust or rust, I elect to exercise this right.

“Buddy Muhammad” is a play off  Buddy Jesus as seen in the movie Dogma.
