Government Won’t Help Cartoonist Threatened By Muslims

Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris has given up her job, her home, and even her identity because of death threats from Islamic supremacists. That Islamic jihadists can force an American citizen into hiding for exercising her freedom of speech is bad enough; that her cause has aroused only indifference from the media and the nation’s leading officials is even worse.

Norris was a popular cartoonist for the Seattle Weekly. Her life changed forever a few months ago when she announced “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” on Facebook. It was a lark, but with a serious point about violent threats and intimidation: if Islamic supremacists were threatening to murder European cartoonists Kurt Westergaard and Lars Vilks because of their cartoons of Muhammad, and anyone else who dared to draw him, then if everyone drew him, the thugs couldn’t possibly kill us all, could they?

 “On the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI,” the Seattle Weekly explained, “she is, as they put it, ‘going ghost’: moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity. She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor. She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection program–except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab.”

Molly Norris has become a living illustration of how right her point was in the first place.  Barack Obama, his administration, and the elitist main stream media are ignoring Norris and offering her no assistance.   Obama defends the rights of Muslims to build a Mosque at Ground Zero and ignores an American threatened by these Islamic terrorists.

The main stream media doesn’t even report on an American citizen be threatened by Islamic Jihadist.  They report how bad Americans are that they don’t want a Mosque at Ground Zero though.  It seems for the main stream media Muslims terrorists are in and Americans are out.

Obama could have announced that Molly Norris and others who were threatened for exercising their freedom of speech would be given full round-the-clock protection and that if violent protests and riots over cartoons broke out in areas where American troops were deployed, those troops would put down those riots and protect the innocent to the fullest possible extent.

Obama apparently thinks when Muslims behave with violent irrationality, that it is entirely the responsibility of non-Muslims to clean up the mess they make.  Today Americans don’t have a president who will stand up for the freedom of expression, explaining its importance as a bulwark against tyranny. Molly Norris, wherever she is, and the embattled free people of the United States, deserve better.
