Today is the Anniversary of the Molly Norris Fatwa

[O]ne year ago today, July 12, a Fatwa was placed on cartoonist Molly Norris who once wrote for the Seattle Times. Norris had drawn a cartoon in support of South Park after an episode featuring Mohammad was censored, she had suggested an Everybody Draw Mohammad day in protest. She later disavowed and apologized saying she meant no offense but to those who called for her death it didn't matter. Two months later Molly Norris went into hiding under an assumed name for fear of her life. She remains in hiding, somewhere in the US, to this day.
