Every day should be Draw Mohammed Day. Satirists throughout history are the staunchest advocates of freedom.
Islamists are the ones who need to chill out. Really.

No one should be killed because of a drawing or an opinion. But trying to incite and piss off an entire religion of people, just because you want to, is insensitive, offensive, and idiotic. Not every Muslim is a lunatic terrorist and this proposed activity would serve to offend all of them as well. They may not kill you but they probably wouldnt like it very much. Honestly, whats the freaking point. Anyone who engages in this intentional thumbing of their nose at other people just doesn't get it, and is contributing nothing to the process of getting different groups to understand eachother and find common ground.
