[quote=Anonymous]Re Geller: If you think a prohibition on behavior X is dumb, the most logical and best way to challenge the prohibition is to do X. And do it again and again until the stigma of doing X is gone and the prohibition looks silly. If certain Muslims want to not draw their prophet, they don't have to, but they don't get to tell non-muslims who don't hold that belief what they can and cannot draw. I like what Geller did. The anti-Geller posters all begin by assuming that a prohibition on drawing Mohammed is a good and defensible belief of all or most muslims, but it's not. It is of relatively recent origin and isn't universally accepted. Imagine you were a muslim who disagreed that this prohibition was scriptural but was seeing it become a commonplace (mis)interpretation of the Koran/Hadith. What might you do to oppose it become settled doctrine? Draw Mohammed... [/quote]
