Somehow I get the feeling that most of the people participating in "Draw Mohammad Day" would be outraged to the point of demanding a boycott or retribution if a hundred thousand Muslims (or people of Muslim cultural heritage) participated in a "Blaspheme Against the Holy Spirit Day" or a "Hang a Cross Upside-Down Day" or the like.

I see a variety of folks doing it.

It's a bit tacky, IMO, but I don't object to the idea of making a statement about the whole death threats thing. The best comment I've seen on the matter came from the Daily Show's Aasif Mandvi. He was like, "Well, to be honest as a Muslim it makes me a little uncomfortable, yeah. But death threats over it are a bit 12th century, don't you think?"
