[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]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]

You are completely ignoring that the bigots were the sponsors of this event, not attaching themselves. I am sure that you and I could agree on about 95% of the cartoon issue. If you were going to draw a cartoon, I would fully support it. I'd even publish it here (and I say that without a clue about what type of cartoon you would draw). I've even posted Muhammad cartoons here myself. There is a very big difference between a group being defined by its outliers (as Geller defines Islam) and a group being defined by its leaders (as I define Geller's organization). I understand and appreciate your determination to stand up to bullies who would murder in response to ideas. There are a number of such people who I consider heroes. Most don't get near the publicity as those who sponsor anti-Islam activities. But even one of the survivors of the Charlie Hebdo attack distanced himself from Geller, saying her organization was simply anti-Islamic:
