Fox News reports that, at the urging of the FBI, Molly Norris, the “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” cartoonist from Seattle, has gone into hiding and changed her name after being threatened with death for insulting Islam. Maybe she can hide at Justice Breyer’s house.
As I mentioned in Tuesday’s column, the Obama administration last year co-sponsored a UN resolution to encourage countries to enact laws that would make it illegal to criticize Islam. The president was on the “Repeal the First Amendment” bandwagon before the justice hopped aboard. But if top levels of government are going to signal that Islam should get special immunity, and states like New Jersey are going to follow suit by firing people from state jobs for criticizing Islam, the FBI better be prepared to reassign a few thousand agents to the new “We Can’t Protect You” division.

I didn't know the U.S. co-sponsored the resolution with Egypt to "encourage" countries to enact laws to protect Islam. Did you? That just didn't come up last year in the mainstream media. What about protecting the artist from harm instead of telling her to disappear? It's official folks, the world has just gone plain nuts. -Cliff
No, Cliff, I did not know about this.
