I disagree. The purpose of the event was not to be mean or petty but to serve notice to Muslims that they cannot silence us. I think it's very important that they get that into their heads. Even more importantly, it draws attention to the all-important issue of free-speech. This right is frequently threatened by well-meaning individuals who haven't thought through the implications of silencing people on ANY subject.

The Draw Mohammed event never would have happened but for the insane reactions of Muslims. They need to get the message: The more you try to intimidate us into acting a certain way, the more we'll do the exact opposite.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
