These people need to learn they don't have a right to not be offended. More importantly, they need to learn that they don't have a right to assuault those they take offense at. And, finally, they need to learn for every "blasphemer" they try to silence through intimidation and violence, ten more will show up.

Please. Everyone draw a cartoon of Prophet Mohammed (may peat be upon him) and post it to the web on May 20. I will post it for you here if you want to remain anonymous and/or are afraid of Muslim thugs and terrorists. Send me your cartoons at stevemillermail@gmail.com. Or better yet, send them to one of the many blogs participating in the "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" that are specifically set up for this demonstration. They have a far broader audience than I do.
