I never said you shouldn't be allowed to draw Mohammed. I just think its silly do to so with the explicit purpose of irritating a group of people.
I eat beef and pork but don't go around rallying support for it in order to display my support for freedom of beef/pork consumption. I don't feel the need to get in someone's face about it like this draw Mohammed Day is attempting to get in the face of Muslim people.
