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.

Some, but I think many of them would point out that they complain about the (perceived) bigotry and childishness when people blaspheme their religion, but they don't try to kill them, or encourage others to do so. Indeed, I know a number of people for whom that is the key issue, we all have things we believe in belittled by others in this Internet age. Civilized people recognize disagreement, and respect the rights of others to have their own opinions, even when we think they are wrong.
