What’s the best way to stand up for
Western values while denouncing Islamofascism?
Hold a Muhammad art exhibit and contest, of course. Pamela Geller is organizing an event in
Garland, Texas called, “Draw the Prophet.”
Last month, Muslims gathered in this
same town for a “Stand with the Prophet” conference. This was an exclusive event and only
select members of the press were allowed to cover it. There was no tolerance for
others. However, “Draw the Prophet” is
open to all. Breitbart Texas reported
the following:
The art exhibit and contest will be held at
the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland on May 3rd. ”This
was the site of a Muslim conference denouncing ‘Islamophobia’ — an obscene
stand for them to take after the Charlie Hebdo massacre – and our massive Free Speech
Rally outside that event,” Geller wrote in a press release obtained by Breitbart Texas.
The contest will
take submissions online and the winner will be announced at the event in
Garland. The winning cartoonist will receive a $10,000 prize. The exhibit will
feature images of Islam’s prophet in both historical and contemporary settings.
There will also be a series of speeches by internationally renowned free-speech
advocates.
Geller explained
that the art exhibit is the next logical step following AFDI’s Free Speech
Rally in Garland. “This event will stand for free speech and show that
Americans will not be cowed by violent Islamic intimidation,” she stated. “That
is a crucial stand to take as Islamic assaults on the freedom of speech, our
most fundamental freedom, are growing more insistent.”
“Of course, this
event will require massive security,” she assured potential attendees. “But
this exhibit has to be staged. If we don’t show the jihadis that they will not
frighten us into silence, the jihad against freedom will only grow more
virulent.”
Its a shame attendees to this event need
protection from adherents of the “religion of peace.”
