2017/02/14: A Picture of Mohamed

Is This a Picture of Mohamed? Something woke me up at 5:30 this morning. Maybe it was my conscience. Maybe it was God. Take your pick. I'll go for conscience. In any case, this week Canada's government is going to consider an anti-Islamophobia motion M103 in Parliament. Before that happens, I have some things to say.

Moses was a murderer. Christ was a bastard. And Mohamed? Mohamed was a... Mohamed was a... Mohamed was a... Holy man whose every word and action was correct. I ask Muslims worldwide: Can I say anything else? On the week, Canada's government is going to discuss anti-Islamophobia motion M103 in parliament. I ask Muslims worldwide: Can I say anything else? I ask Muslims in the West: Can I say anything else? I ask Muslims in Canada: Can I say anything else? I ask Iqra Khalid, sponsor of M103 in Canada: Can I say anything else?

Is This a Picture of Mohamed? Where do I cross the line? This is a picture of Christ. This is a picture of Mo. This is a picture of Moses. This is a picture of Mo. Is This a Picture of Mohamed? This might be a picture of Mohamed. Did I cross the line? When do I become Salman Rushdie?

I'm a Westerner. I am Salman Rushdie. Iqra Khalid, are you Salman Rushdie? When do I become a Danish cartoonist? I'm a Westerner. I am a Danish cartoonist. Iqra Khalid, are you a Danish cartoonist? When do I become Charlie Hebdo? I'm a Westerner. I can criticize so that things can improve, so that we're not trapped in the dead past, so that we're not trapped in the embrace of the corpses of the past.

I am Charlie Hebdo. Iqra Khalid, are you Charlie Hebdo? Which side are you on? Every Westerner is Salman Rushdie. Every Westerner is a Danish cartoonist. Every Westerner is Charlie Hebdo. Who is Iqra Khalid? When push comes to shove, as it will this week, where is she going to stand?

Muslims of the world, on the week of anti-Islamophobia motion 103 in Canada... Muslims of the West, on the week of anti-Islamophobia motion 103 in Canada... Muslims of Canada, on the week of anti-Islamophobia motion 103 in Canada... Iqra Khalid, of Canada, who sponsored the motion after the murders in Quebec City.

On the week of anti-Islamophobia motion 103 in Canada, can I say: This is a picture of the prophet Mohamed? Because if I can't, it's not Islamophobia. Is this a picture of Mohamed? Is this a picture of Mohamed?
