Many of the commenters on this article are idiots. The Facebook group wasn't about attacking anyone it WAS ABOUT FREE SPEECH. AND YES THAT IS FREE SPEECH.. We must have freedom of speech and freedom of religion and freedom of religion includes believing what you want. But it doesn't mean if someone else religion said you are not allowed to do something than you can't do it. This isn't about being disrespectful it is about having the right to draw a picture. We are non-Muslim therefore our religion doesn't say we can't draw Mohammad, therefore using our right to our freedom of speech if we'd like to draw him we have the RIGHT to. If you are offended by this no where does it say that you have to look at it. However, if you are offended by this you DO not have the right to take someone else's constitutional right away because you don't like it, and you ESPECIALLY don't have the right to threaten to kill someone for expressing this right. Granted this only true in the U.S of A. Someone in the comments, who was angry about the group, suggested a group be created called "Draw Jesus taking it in the @$$ Day". Well I say do it. That would be free speech too. So go for it. I'll join that group too, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't join it just to be an ass, no I'd join it because I am a HUGE supporter of Free Speech and freedom of religion. We need to protect these rights. Many people these days are trying to take away our first amendment rights, not just the Muslims some Christians have similar arguments, we need to fight back. There is a reason all the freedom's I have mentioned are in the first amendment to the Constitution, because our founding fathers knew it was very important and they knew they needed to make sure all people in there new country would have these rights. If you don't like the fact our founding father's gave us these right than LEAVE THE COUNTRY, we'd be better off without you anyway.
