An online comic taken down because of death threats (update: it's back up again!)
I'd wanted to write about this earlier, but was so busy I was unable to, and ended up forgetting until now. From Infidel Bloggers Alliance, here's an entry about an online webcomic site called IslamComicBook.Com that was taken down some time ago because of death threats (update: but which, fortunately, as I just discovered, is back again now!).
The text from the site:
There's an important lesson to be learned from this, that, comic books too are one of the forms of communication that radical Islam is targeting in its attempt to silence free speech. Anyone who's a devoted comics fan would be well advised to be on the lookout for if Islam tries to target even American comic books, both in print and online.
Update: whoa, now this is fortunate to learn! The website is now back up, and it looks like an additional one is in the works too. I'm glad to see that they didn't let those cannibals scare them. Bravo, infidels!
The text from the site:
Greetings,So there you have it, an example of how Islamofascism sought to deny free speech for a webcomic. Fortunately, FaithFreedom.Org has a copy of it available which I recommend for reading.
It is with great regret that I must go into hiding.
This is a result of the multiple death threats I have received for my comic book, which depicts the truth about the teachings of the prophet Mohammed. I am earnestly confused about this matter. I have spoken honestly and truthfully about Islam and its teachings. All quotes in the comic book are directly from the Qu'ran and the agreed Hadiths.
Why does a religion of peace seek to kill me for being honest? What do they have to hide?
I hope to return when I am free to speak once again.
