When Comedy Central censored the 201st episode of South Park over threats that came from the site Revolution Muslim, the fan community went into a frenzy over a major corporation bowing down to some threats, verifying a terrorist threat, and shitting on the first amendment.
All of that was the result of one Danish cartoonist by the name of Lars Vilks receiving death threats when he made a cartoon of Mohammad on a dog. A big group of Muslims took offense to it and threatened to kill him. That as a few years ago, then last week, this happened when Mr Vilks was giving a lecture at a university in Stockholm

And Muslims wonder why the rest of the world thinks they’re nuts.
So, with the public outcry, and the shit that happened to Vilks, a Seattle cartoonist got the nerve to start this campaign
I say, good on her, even though she’s backed out of the May 20th event.
Now before any of you start calling foul on me and accuse me of being racist, I’m making the point about this clear. I’m all for this day because I live in America, we’re we have the right to free speech. If a group of people, most who live in another country, don’t like it, then suck my nuts. My beef with all of this isn’t against Muslims per say, but assholes who are so blindly devout to their religion that they’ve lost any sensibility in thinking, and are willing to kill just because you don’t agree with them.
Basically, I’m saying FUCK YOU to anyone who’s dumb enough to let their religion control their lives. That goes to Catholics, Christians, Buddhists, Jews and every denomination out there that thinks its a good idea to manipulate someone’s weakness and fears with their gospel. The people who use religion as a way to live their own independent lives, they’re fine. They don’t make death threats to some one who doesn’t agree with their views and threatens to kill them and their family because they drew a fucking cartoon of their deity.
It’s the 21st Century, get the fuck over it. It’s not hurting anyone phiscally, and if some get’s their fucking panties in a wad over a cartoon of their diety, make log your dissagrement, and move the fuck on with your life.
So, come May 20th, I hope that a lot of people join in (and not just for the reason of the more people there are, the harder it is to try to kill someone) and teach a group of people to lighten the fuck up and have a laugh everyone once in a while.
