In support of all victims of all islamic terrorist actions, should every single media outlet, publication, and private individual start printing/posting/publishing drawings of Muhammed?
Think about it. If every single person/business/group/corporation with a facebook page, instagram, snap chat, blog, forum, and web page spent a week posting nothing but pictures of Muhammed would it make a statement?
If every single non-muslim with the means to "protest" in this way banded together and posted pictures, it would number in the billions.
Would it make any kind of difference? Would it resonate with the Muslim world at all?
A world-wide grass-roots movement to collectively say "we're not going to submit to terrorist threats" and "we fully support the freedom of speech and freedom of the press/media". Would you participate?
Is it time for every single non-Muslim to post a cartoon/drawing of Muhammed in a collective gesture of support, and defiance against violence?
I'm not sure. On one hand, it's disrespectful to "flood" the world with images that you know a religion would find particularly heinous (not just offensive). On the other hand, people have the right to publish pics of Muhammed, so this would be one way to get the point of freedom of speech across. On the third hand, it would cause violence. On the fourth hand, there would be too many places and people and pics for the Islamists to focus on any one in particular for a major point.
