Hell bigred, you may be right......


The New York Daily News has printed an article about todays events in Paris. You can see it here...

@WalkSoftly: I agree with a Frenchman I hesrd earlier today. The terrorists won. They won because the media lacks the balls even to republish the cartoons. Sad.

"" 'Draw Muhammad' Cartoonist
Goes Into Hiding at FBI's
Insistence After Assassination
Threat

The Seattle cartoonist whose artwork sparked
the controversial "Everybody Draw Muhammad
Day!" has gone into hiding at the advice of the
FBI after being targeted by a radical Muslim
cleric, according to the newspaper that
published her comics.
Molly Norris has moved and changed her
name, the Seattle Weekly said Wednesday,
after U.S.-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki
placed her on an execution hit list. Awlaki --
who has been linked to the botched Times
Square bombing and cited as inspiration for
the Fort Hood massacre and a plot by two
New Jersey men to kill U.S. soldiers --
reportedly called Norris a "prime target" for
assassination and that her "proper abode is
hellfire."
"You may have noticed that Molly Norris'
comic is not in the paper this week," Seattle
Weekly Editor in Chief Mark Fefer wrote
Wednesday. "That's because there is no more
Molly."
"The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully.
But on the insistence of top security
specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it,
'going ghost': moving, changing her name, and
essentially wiping away her identity. She is, in
effect, being put into a witness-protection
program -- except, as she notes, without the
government picking up the tab," Fefer wrote.
Norris ignited a firestorm in April after
drawing a satirical cartoon to protest the
decision by cable television channel Comedy
Central to cancel an episode of "South Park"
over its depiction of the Prophet Muhammad
in a bear suit.
In her cartoon, Norris mockingly proposed
making May 20 "Everybody Draw Muhammad
Day!"
Soon after, a fan page popped up on
Facebook, but Norris wrote on her since-
shuttered website that she had nothing to do
with it.
"I did NOT 'declare' May 20 to be 'Everybody
Draw Muhammad Day,'" she said, adding that
her idea was satire that was "taken seriously,
hijacked and made viral."
"I apologize to people of Muslim faith and ask
that this 'day' be called off," she said.
The 27-year-old Facebook page creator -- a
Canadian woman who asked not to be
identified due to fears of reprisal -- told
FoxNews.com in July that she was visited at
her home by Royal Canadian Mounted Police
officials who advised her to remove her page
and not to talk to reporters.
"I'm scared," she said. "I'm scared that
somebody might kill me."
Islam strictly prohibits the depiction of any
prophet as blasphemous and the "Draw
Muhammad" page led to Facebook being
temporarily blocked in Pakistan and sparked
angry street protests.
In July, English-language Al Qaeda magazine
"Inspire" attributed an article to Awlaki,
saying Norris "should be taken as a prime
target of assassination."
"The large number of participants makes it
easier for us because there are more targets
to choose from in addition to the difficulty of
the government offering all of them special
protection," wrote Awlaki. "But even then our
campaign should not be limited to only those
who are active participants."
He warned that "assassinations, bombings
and acts of arson" are all legitimate forms of
revenge against the creators of blasphemous
depictions of Muhammad.
"Now, with the defamation of Muhammad
reaching the shores of America, I wonder
whether the patriotic American Muslim will
still have the audacity to claim that he enjoys
the right to be a Muslim in America?" Awlaki
wrote. "Does he understand that this right
includes his duty to fight against those who
blaspheme his Prophet?"
Awlaki invited Muslims worldwide to "stand
up in defense" of Muhammad and for their
efforts to "manifest in all appropriate" means.""

Heres another pixelated pic. Its the now dead editor holding up his company's lampooning of both Mohammed and a "hook nosed Jew". Noticed only one is pixelated.....



Accompanied article.....

"" Here in America, per Politico , the Daily
News blurred out the offending cartoon.
One photo on the Daily News website
shows editor Charb holding an issue of
Charlie Hedbo lampooning both
Mohammed and a Jewish rabbi. The former
was deemed offensive enough to obscure
but not the latter.""
