Awlaki Names 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day' Cartoonist for Death
Molly Norris, the cartoonist who first suggested "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" to counter Muslim death threats, has been called out for death by Imam Anwar al-Awlaki.
In "Inspire," an English language Al Qaeda terrorist mag, Awlaki damns Norris and eight others for "blasphemous caricatures" of the Prophet Muhammed.
The other cartoonists, authors and journalists in Awlaki's crosshairs are Swedish, Dutch and British citizens.
The 67-page terror rag is seen by terrorism experts as a bald new attempt to reach and recruit Muslim youth in the West.
"The medicine prescribed by the Messenger of Allah is the execution of those involved," writes Awlaki, 39, a Las Cruces, N.M.-born American citizen.
Norris, herself, attempted to back away from the cartoon idea after it got international attention. She was "freaked" and, apparently, with reason. She gets to spend the rest of her life looking over her shoulder for barbaric thugs.
