"Everybody Draw Muhammed" Day Creator Says 'Nevermind'

Muslims got mad, she changed her mind. Kind of defeats the purpose of the whole idea, doesn't it?
She says it was a gag, but this is exactly the kind of thing that's needed to show that bullying tactics don't work (although apparently, sadly, they do) and the first amendment is indeed alive and well. All it takes is for the PC police to run amok and deny anyone with a creative outlet a chance to make a living or at the very least, show their wares.

It's certainly o.k. to have someone have a picture of the Virgin Mary submerged in urine and call it art, but you make one reference, just one reference to a certain religious figure in a comedic light and all jihad breaks loose. But really, this is nothing new. Just ask Theo Van Gough.

When will this madness cease? When will people wake up to the violence, intolerance and hypocrisy of these people and the complicitness of the media in all their muteness.

She shouldn't have backed off. She had something with this.
So to answer my own question/blog post title: "Will Anyone Have the Guts?" Apparently not.
