AronRa's response to Draw Mohammed Day, along with a very intelligent defense of the event.
From YT: My camera was fucking up, but I had run out of time, and had to rush to use the footage I had, or else I'd have made my submission late. This is my contribution to 'Everyone Draw Muhammad Day'.
I'm very hopeful about this effort, because a number of Muslim YouTubers have already taken -what I think to be- the right response to this world-wide collaborative effort to insult Islam -before they bully the rest of us into submission. Dawafilms is encouraging other Muslims to actually participate in this demonstration, (albeit through calligraphy) and SamiZaatari is asking for Muslims to respond peacefully -by submitting passages honoring their prophet to the Facebook page below.

RaaaghI hate that mo.
ponceleonI loved the one statement: "I'm free to change my mind if it seems that I should."
That really encapsulates the difference between science and religion. Religious freaks keep saying that atheist "deify" science and have "faith" in it and I really think the statement above serves to show what the major difference is: Religion takes holy texts (or the words of people who have declared that they somehow channel god through their words) as being unwavering truth. Science works towards truths, but is ALWAYS willing to reexamine its conclusions should new evidence appear.
Earlier in the month, someone on VS tried to call me on believing in Dark Matter (which some speculate is unmeasurable) but not believing in the possibility that Jesus is running around controlling the universe (which is also unmeasurable).
The difference is that dark matter is predicted by measurement. It doesn't clinch that it exists and my mind is entirely open to another explanation about why the rotation of the outer parts of galaxies seems to move contrary to what one would expect given the amount of mass one would predict at the edge of a disk. That said, there is absolutely nothing in nature that predicts Jesus, or Buddha, or Mohamed, or the flying spaghetti monster.
