Everybody is fully aware that many Muslims get violent when you draw what they believe are insulting cartoons of Muhammad.
A person then goes on to actually sponsor and publicize a "Draw Mohammad Day," because she knows that many Muslims get violent when you draw what they believe are insulting cartoons of Muhammad.

We almost HAVE to go out of our way to offend people in order to neutralize the effect, especially when the offenses are so commonplace and can be all over the work via the internet in minutes. We can't have people running around threatening to behead anyone who accidental offends them and the only way to get past that is an overdose of offense. It's a tried and true strategy.

Okay... what am I missing? Exactly?
An appreciation for the free exchange of ideas, or even the idea that "my right to swing my fist ends at your nose."

The fact that we can't accept that drawing anyting is a death sentence. It must be challenged because....it's there!!

So by your logic...back in the day, if a black man dated a white woman and was hung as a result, it was his own fault because he should have known better?
The falling piano will crush you whether you accept it or not.
The proper response is rarely to stand under the piano and saw at the ropes holding it up.
A falling piano is not the same as a doodle on a piece of paper. The laws of gravity can't be changed, but stupid human ideas can. When the world was different, when people were not mingling, people could get away with these ideas. In a globally society it's not going to fly.

I am not missing that at all. But then again, I am a secular American.
It is just breathtaking to me that (for example) the boards are filled with offended threads about Muslims responding violently to the threatened Qur'an burnings, or that a woman is forced to go into hiding for sponsoring a "Draw Muhammad Day," when the very purpose of the Qur'an burning and drawing of Muhammad was to incite exactly that behavior.
Reality does not frankly give a tinker's dam about the free exchange of ideas. It is unforgiving in it's assignment of consequences.

Burning flags is also evokes a serious response, but it is done. Our constitution allows it. Quran burning is similar - not sensible, but is allowed. We cannot have any group pick and tell us which laws we can obey in the US. Their loons need to try and adjust to the present day and age.
