I've been seeing a good number of supportive pieces here and elsewhere, but I've seen a few... That kinda miss the point. To be a cartoonist and make a statement is one thing, but to do exactly what the terrorists imagine that all cartoonists are doing, i.e. actually denigrating the /religion/ and not the terrorist acts, is kind of playing into their hands.

We must, as writers, artists and creators of all kinds, be respectful of religion- the criminal monsters who do these depraved acts have NOTHING to do with any religion, other than the worship of hate. Hate really is it's own belief system, and far too many follow it now.

If you want to make a supportive statement, do not slander the Islamic faiths. Don't mock the Prophet. Instead, go after the real criminals- the terrorists who bastardize and distort their supposed faith to perform acts of evil that would have Muhammad weeping.

We need to make the world a better place, not give these subhuman scum more falsity to drive their hate with. They are one and all cowards- those with true faith would have no fear of either words or imagery.
