Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris has declared May 20th "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day."
Norris told KIRO Radio's Dave Ross that cartoonists are meant to challenge the lines of political correctness. "That's a cartoonist's job, to be non-PC."

I personally love the idea that her group 'Citizens Against Citizens Against Humor' is representing and I hope the idea catches on.
Because the history of drawing Mohamed cartoons is often met with death and violence, and its completely ridiculous.
The Creators of South Park received veiled death threats for even joking about depicting Mohamed in a bear costume. Obviously tensions are still high after a kindergarten teacher last year narrowly escaped 5 years in prison and a canning and was deported from Saudi Arabia when the children in her class voted to name the class teddy bear "Mohammed." Not profit Mohammed, Its also the most popular name to give a any male child in that country and it happens to be the same name as the so called profit.
Anyway,
February 3rd of this year, 2,500 people marched on the Norwegian capital of Oslo in protest a caricature of Prophet Mohammed by a local newspaper, and the demonstrators demanded a boycott of the daily Dagbladet.
2006 - Cartoon showing Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban on his head. In Spain, Italy, Germany and France was met with death threats.
This has all got to end! Lets get out there with our sharpies and Join draw Muhammad day! May 20th!
