Nope no terrorism, just pissing a bunch of people off for no good reason.
I'm not here to protect extremist views, I'm simply voicing my opinion that we should respect a religion. Who's to say that nice Muslims won't be offended by people going out of their way to do something like this, when tensions between everyone over things like this are so high?

I have to agree with you on this one, you pretty much worded it the best way with "just pissing a bunch of people off for no good reason." Gotta say you opened my mind about it, just because you can doesn't mean you should. I want to favorite this, but I think people may get the wrong Idea when it's up on my page.
I know it is a form of freedom of speech. I know it was to combat the some Muslims that were offended by the South Park episode and made death threats. But it is offensive to an entire people with beliefs who are not extremeists. Let me put it this way, would you want me to make a "Draw picture of animal cruelty day" or "Draw a picture of a slaughter house day" just because you and many other people think it's wrong?
I'm not sacrificing any right, I'm just not seeking to cause trouble that's all. Not to mention I'm currently excercizing my right to freedom of speech by telling you all my views of this Everyone Dram Muhammad Day. You're currently trying to tell me that I can't say this is just going to piss people off for no good reason, I'd say you're trying to restrict my freedom of speech.
also looking at number three from your excerpt, "3) Do not merely go after someone for their beliefs purely because they believe in something ridiculous, though it can be used in an argument it may be a better idea to try to convince them of the truth. Get people on your side. Try to be calm and peaceful, though of course it is still your right to get angry. Try to convince people of this cause's good intentions." I'd also say you're being a hypocrite. This is going after islamic people for their beliefs, and no matter how nicely you word it until there isn't a massive amount of tension between everyone then it will still be offensive and inciting more violence.
Question: this isn't the Guy Fawke's that tried to blow up parts of london now is it? Who is this person?
About this targeting extremists, if you're wanting to target just extremists then why not do something aimed only at them? Remember that third point you posted? "Get people on your side. Try to be calm and peaceful, though of course it is still your right to get angry. Try to convince people of this cause's good intentions." EDMD won't convince extremists that anyone is right, it's just going to make them more angry at us for insulting their religion.
You mention that you don't see why we should respect any religion. Do you have a religion? They are a pretty central part in many people's lives (since Mr. Fawkes asked for us to use Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:A.....ckerman_en.svg just to illustrate how many people reject all deities, note this is atheist and agnostic population so everyone else surveyed claims to have a religion) and I'm sure that if you ask someone that holds their religion near and dear if you can stomp on one of their (admittedly rather silly, but still) Very firmly held ideals, they would quickly respond with offense and depending on the PERSON they might just become violent when you do go out and stomp.
Why not try and calm down the extremists? If you're so worried about them going and blowing people up then quit making them mad for a change? Then when they've calmed down a bit maybe there might be some chance for reconsiliation not only from our side but from theirs.

Look if you want me to tell you you've won then I will but I refuse to remove this. Doing that would be stupid, I've clearly stated my opinion and you're frankly not going to change it by typing a wall of text. Please continue how ever to educate me to the extent that you desire. I'm going to go do something else and not get wrapped up in this

Oh wait, looks like tits have been chilled.
Anyway
I enjoy this.
I am entirely neutral to Draw Muhammad Day - I think we should respect the religion, but I also think it's kind of silly to put a ban on doodling someone's face!
... lol @ those huge walls of text above.
