If a group committed to freedom of expression hosted a contest of Muhammad cartoons, I would feel differently, though I would hope they would address other religions as well. But, when a group that is engaged in an ongoing hate campaign against Islam hosts such a contest, their motives cannot be ignored.

It is unfortunate that you so willingly ignore Geller's Islamophobia and deem her worthy of praise and support. I am sure you wouldn't so easily ignore or excuse racism or anti-Semitism. [/quote]

There is no need to address other religions because no-one is being murdered for drawing cartoons about other religions.

I am not a fan of Pamela Geller.      Her website attempts to collate all the news of atrocities committed in the name of Islam.      That is fine - it is  hardly fair and balanced but I could say the same thing  about the CAIR website.    But her reader feedback is filled with racist and Islamophobic statements which she does not appear to stop.      So I don't want to be associated with her, but that does not mean that everything she does is wrong.

And I am in strong support of the "draw Muhammed" event.  [b] I am in support of someone being able to say "if the Prophet Muhammed were alive today, he would be aghast the actions of ISIS and Al-Queda. [/b]   Or as a cartoonist would express this, by showing a drawing of Muhammed crying while viewing a terrorist act.      As far as I could tell (the media was not very helpful in showing the drawings), the drawings at the contest were like this, and not at all racist or Islamaphobic.

There are racists who try to attach themselves to this event, but the event shouldn't be defined by them, anymore than Islam should be defined by the actions of a few terrorists.[/quote]

That has been said over and over again . There is no religion on earth that promotes rape, murder, torture,  oppression, or war and if you can't comprehend that , this discussion is pointless.....[/quote]
