You may have noticed that Molly Norris' comic is not in the paper this week. That's because there is no more Molly.
The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully. But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, "going ghost": moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity. She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor. She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection program—except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab. It's all because of the appalling fatwa issued against her this summer, following her infamous "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" cartoon.
Norris views the situation with her customary sense of the world's complexity, and absurdity. When FBI agents, on a recent visit, instructed her to always keep watch for anyone following her, she joked, "Well, at least it'll keep me from being so self-involved!" It was, she says, the first time the agents managed a smile. She likens the 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.
We're hoping the religious bigots go into full and immediate remission, and we wish her the best.
The harsh reality: Muslims will MURDER you for drawing a cartoon.
These are not normal people.
These are fascists of the worst degree.

So to get rid of the extremists, something murderously extreme needs to be done? I am failing to see the logic in this. -

"Cartoonist who drew Muhammad forced into hiding by murderous Muslim lunatics"
"on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI"
this is utter failure ... no one told her to hide but the FBI ....
"She likens the situation to cancer—it might basically be nothing, it might be urgent and serious"
it might be racist whites prejudging muslims. it might be racist whites trying to make muslims look bad. it might the ol "let me protect my sweet innocent white princess" ? america is so obsessed with. it just might be
the harsh reality: some whites will murder you over your skin color
These are not normal people.
These are racist ignorant liberals and conservatives of the worst degree, who stole the land, money, and even the language of the very people who they mocked in the cartoon
i hope she lives the rest of her life in her own iniquity. smh at little white girls putting themselves in situations and expect us to put a cape on. if i drew an offensive picture of george bush and someone killed me for it, then its just some crazy person who has nothing to do with george bush acting on their own. but let some white girl draw an offensive picture, and now everyone from that religion is crazy, murderous killers ... everyone one from top to bottom is involved and it must have been planned by their highest ranking officials. white america needs to take a look in the mirror and the past -

There's only so much abuse Muslims can take I guess....
Israel stealing their land and water with American help.....tons of Muslims being bombed to hell in Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan.....
All of this with no end in sight. This will all go on for a loong time.....I can understand Muslim frustration right now.
I don't support killing someone over a ? cartoon......but I understand the anger. -

Yeah! illiteracy and bowing to mecca 60 times a day sure don't allow much time for humour.
Most Muslims worldwide speak and write several languages. How many can you speak and write? And it is 5 times a day.
SMH, at the most culturally ignorant and myopic people on the planet calling someone illiterate. -
Lighten-up man your showing the same side I was just expressing sarcasm towards i.e.,the extremist element within who show their illiterate (lunatic) ? for the whole wide world to see whenever this issue (Cartoonist) comes about.

Typical response. When you call the other man out on his cultural disrespect, insensitivity, and outright ignorance he plays the race and/or radical card.
Muslims rage at affronts to their faith because the modern world puts their faith at risk, precisely as modern Islamists contend.That is not a Muslim problem as such, for all faith is challenged as traditional society gives ground to globalization. But Muslim countries, whose traditional life shows a literacy rate of only 60%, face a century of religious deracination. Christianity and Judaism barely have adapted to the modern world; the Islamists believe with good reason that Islam cannot co-exist with modernism and propose to shut it out altogether.
Statement is just not true. Modernism is not the problem. They are not worried about Modernism. They are worried about the caveman morals that accompany the modern technology ofttimes. Every where you go, you attempt to bring your cesspool morals disguised in Modern technology. Some people don't want that. Some want to maintain a way of life that is conducive to a clean society.
Iran did not just kick the Shah out because of his kowtowing to the west. The wanted him out because of the filth and degradation his regime was permitting in the country. -
Oh please! spare me with the moral issues......how about they get with the times and start living in the 21th century. Oh! so SOME want a clean society......WTF! is that after they beheaded those who oppose their fanaticism and extremism?
Oh so we don't execute people based on transgression of civil laws? Christians don't murder those who oppose their fanaticism? I guess atheist don't either? Hypocrisy thy name is..........
You always want to spare the moral issues because you can't win that argument. -
Oh! no NOT THIS tune again -- your so predictable - don't you ever get tired of bringing up what others are doing instead of facing the issue within IE Islam is a religion of “Peace” and there is no doubt about it.But the moderates won't/or can't help to eliminate those entities within e.g.,lunatics NOW that's the issue when are the good Muslims gonna step-up and help the world? instead of hiding behind that banner of "Peace" WHEN?
Help the world? You do know the rest of the world for the most part does not share this sentiment don't you? I know you think everybody thinks and acts like you but word to John Wayne, they don't. You have had for the most part go this crusade alone slick. Quit falling for the propaganda and leave your rocking chair every once in a while. -

And to sum it all up.
Western White people need to learn to leave people, animals, and nature alone instead of always ? with them.
From China to the Middle East to South America they identify you as devils. Doesn't that tell you something?
I don't understand how a people so smart and creative, can't get that ? . It's like your creative geniuses but when dealing with people you have a short circuit in common sense and intelligence. -
only western white people ? with people, animals and nature? this seems a little questionable (beyond the part where we note that western white people DO ? with people, animals and nature)Western White people need to learn to leave people, animals, and nature alone instead of always ? with them. -
