This is in regards to the ''Draw a Muhammad Day''

A lot of these comments were upvoted on the Huff-Post article.
And I think this is scary; the idea of Muslims killing people over a cartoon is now becoming normalized. The prospect that Muslims are a minority of people who can't control themselves when someone offends their religion is on the rise.
I think that blaming the people who decided to draw Muhammad is ridiculous - freedom of expression is a basic civil right in the west; and yet people are OK with having that infringed upon.
Holy fuck, look at one of the comments with 104 upvotes; ''I hope both take each other out'' --- as if being an Anti-Theist in Texas trying to draw Muslims somehow makes you right-wing?! The comment is literally saying that he wished the Muslims would have succeeded.
