This is REALL Y  "Extremism Exposed "

Ruddy nut cases

A cartoonist in Seattle who promoted an “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” last spring is now in hiding after her life was threatened by Islamic extremists.

The cartoonist, Molly Norris, has changed her name and has stopped producing work for a local alternative newspaper, Seattle Weekly, according to the newspaper’s editor, Mark D. Fefer.

Mr. Fefer declined an interview request Thursday, citing “the sensitivity of the situation.” But in a letter to readers about Ms. Norris on Wednesday, he said that “on the insistence of top security specialists at the F.B.I., she is, as they put it, ‘going ghost’: moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity.”

The F.B.I. declined to comment on the case.

Ms. Norris attracted attention after she published a poster on the Internet in April satirically proposing that people draw figures of the Prophet Muhammad on May 20.

She indicated that the proposal was a protest of censorship by Comedy Central, which edited out references to Muhammad from an episode of “South Park” that month. That episode also triggered threats from extremists. Islam forbids depictions of the Prophet Muhammad.

In 2005, a Dutch cartoonist named Kurt Westergaard published a depiction of Muhammad that led to multiple death threats and alleged assassination attempts. He was presented an award this month for freedom of speech by Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany.

The poster by Ms. Norris spread on the Internet and spawned Facebook groups both for and against the idea. She quickly tried to tamp down the controversy, apologizing to Muslims and at one point joking that the event should be renamed “Everybody Draw Al Gore Day.” The protest movement continued in the spring largely without her involvement.

In July, Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical Yemeni-American cleric who is accused of ties to Al Qaeda, said in a document published on the Internet that Ms. Norris “should be taken as a prime target of assassination,” according to the NEFA Foundation, a private group that monitors extremist Web sites, which translated the document.

Mr. Awlaki stated that Ms. Norris and other unnamed people in the United States and Europe “are expressing their hatred of the Messenger of Islam through ridicule.” In a controversial step, the Obama administration this year authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to kill Mr. Awlaki, who is in hiding.

Seattle Weekly started to publish cartoons by Ms. Norris about two months ago. Her last cartoon appeared in the Sept. 8 issue.

Ms. Norris did not respond to e-mail messages on Thursday. Her personal Web site has been taken offline.

Michael Cavna, a writer for Comic Riffs, a Washington Post blog about comics, said that he contacted her on Thursday and that she verified Mr. Fefer’s version of events.

Mr. Fefer wrote that Ms. Norris had likened her situation “to cancer — it might basically be nothing, it might be urgent and serious, it might go away and never return, or it might pop up again when she least expects it.”

Beware Abu, this one is coming to git you!! ...with love  ;D ;D ;D

That's shocking. How on earth somebody could so easily call for the taking of the life of another in these circumstances is beyond me. I am appalled by this, and I call on all to condemn this murderous and barbaric threat against the life of an individual who did nothing more than exercise their right to free speech.

Because for a moment you came across as sane. A completely new and unexpected experience for us. So we are startled and wonder if you've had some sort of psychic trauma.

Good one Soren, you couldn't have put it more succinctly, you took the words right out of my mouth !!

Well if you think something's sane, then there's a good chance it's not.

I think we have our wires crossed here, I was talking about the diabolical assassination attempts by that murderous terrorist scumbag Obama against poor innocent Imam Anwar for merely speaking out against the oppression of the Great Satan.

BULLCRAP Abu !!!!!!!!!! and you know it.

Try your taqia elsewhere.

It's a worry that you openly support a terrorist. Maybe the AFP should be alerted?

If you think like that about the USA, then you shouldn't be in this country. They are our greatest ally and friend

This just highlights how warped and contorted your idea of "supporting terrorism" is.

Whatever tickles your fancy troll. If you'd like to waste their time and resources worrying about such trivial matters, go for your life  ;D

Actually you're the one who shouldn't be in Australia (as you're obviously a Zionist, not an Aussie, in any sense of the word), because if you had any actual understanding of Aussie culture, you'd know that hating the yanks is a national past-time for us.

Go back to Lithuania or Poland or where ever your family is from troll.

True to type !!

Oh boy


I have you picked you immature liitle idiot

As I said "Take your taqia elsewhere" and shove it, Because after what I hace been reading today, YUCK !!! You revere Mohammed??  Sick

YOU support this scum…says a lot for you. Even Taj el-Din al-Hilaly  doesn’t think much of him and that's saying something


''Anwar al-Awlaki is like a virus produced by the body wanting to fight a microbe,'' said Taj el-Din al-Hilaly, condemning the sermon, which was delivered at his mosque by phone link from Yemen.”





Al-Awlaki "is extraordinarily dangerous, committed to carrying out deadly attacks on Americans and others worldwide".[ With a blog, a Facebook page, and many YouTube videos, he has been described as the "bin Laden of the internet."

"Christmas Day bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab met with al-Awlaki, and said he was one of his al-Qaeda trainers, involved in planning or preparing the attack, and provided religious justification for it”

“This is the new face of international terrorism. His name is Anwar al Awlaki – and unlike Osama bin Laden, who has not been seen in public for many years, he is loud, obvious and very dangerous. If there is an attack any time soon in London or in another Western capital, the chances are that Awlaki will be behind it.”

“Anwar al-Awlaki
Yemen-based religious scholar says he supports attempt to blow up a US-bound plane.”

“AN AL-QAEDA recruiter, described as the No. 1 terrorist threat to America, was engaged by a Sydney youth group to address hundreds of young people - a decision that has caused deep divisions at one of Australia's largest mosques.
At the same time as Anwar al-Awlaki was advising the extremist later charged with killing 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas, he was in talks with a group, Sydney Muslim Youth, about delivering a sermon to young Australians. He was already well known to security agencies as the spiritual guide to three of the hijackers on September 11, 2001.”

Phew.... I was beginning to worry.

But everything's fine, you are still insane, still a fascist, still doing your utmost to discredit Islam and Muslims.

As you were.

Now Molly Norris, an American citizen, is forced into hiding because she exercised her right to free speech. Will President Obama say a word on her behalf? Does he believe in the First Amendment for anyone other than Muslims?

Who knows? Given his highly selective enthusiasms, you can hardly blame a third of Americans for figuring their president must be Muslim. In a way, that's the least pathetic explanation: The alternative is that he's just a craven squish. Which is an odd considering he is, supposedly, the most powerful man in the world.


...


No one should lose their name, their home, their life, their liberty because ideological thugs are too insecure to take a joke. But Molly Norris is merely the latest squishy liberal to learn that, when the chips are down, your fellow lefties won't be there for you.
