Draw Muhammad' Cartoonist Goes Into Hiding
Hmmmm , Apparently there must be a credible threat in order for Molly Norris to go into hiding , it would not be surprising knowing how Islamic extremists are .
Anwar al-awlaki...
"assassinations, bombings and acts of arson" are all legitimate forms of revenge against the creators of blasphemous depictions of Muhammad.
Foxnews
The Seattle cartoonist whose work sparked the controversial "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" has gone into hiding at the advice of the FBI after being targeted by a radical Muslim cleric, according to the newspaper that published her comics.
Molly Norris has moved and changed her name, the Seattle Weekly said Wednesday, after U.S.-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki placed her on an execution hit list. Awlaki -- who has been linked to the botched Times Square bombing and cited as inspiration for the Fort Hood massacre and a plot by two New Jersey men to kill U.S. soldiers -- reportedly called Norris a "prime target" for assassination and that her "proper abode is hellfire."
"You may have noticed that Molly Norris' comic is not in the paper this week," Seattle Weekly Editor in Chief Mark Fefer wrote Wednesday. "That's because there is no more Molly."
"The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully. But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, 'going ghost': moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity.

(Reuters) - A Venezuelan website that has poked fun at leftist President Hugo Chavez for two years has become a roaring success on the Internet, where its authors set up their satirical blog to avoid censorship.
Juan Andres Ravell and Oswaldo Graziani, former television scriptwriters, say the main aim of their blog, The Bipolar Capybara (www.elchiguirebipolar.com/), is to make people laugh and lighten the polarized political environment.
Their latest creation is "Presidential Island," an animated series on the blog that broadens the satire to other Latin American leaders. The series is a takeoff of the U.S. television drama "Lost" featuring Latin American leaders who are shipwrecked with Chavez on a deserted island.
Chavez and Bolivia's President Evo Morales, the United States' main critics in South America, feast on an American bald eagle, while the king of Spain roasts Chilean leader Michelle Bachelet on a spit.
"Presidential Island" has been a hit in Latin America and has created an international following on Twitter and Facebook for Ravell, 28, and Graziani, 30.
The first episode has had more than 1 million viewers since being posted in February and doubled the traffic to the Bipolar Capybara blog, which takes its name from a large South American rodent.
In episode two, Chavez, who has succeeded Fidel Castro as the region's most verbose leader, bores his peers with a long monologue as they fish from a tree branch. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva dozes off and falls into the sea.
The series also lampoons U.S. President Barack Obama, who appears at the end of the second episode shooting Chavez with a tranquilizer dart from the top of a coconut tree.
"President Chavez's international role is funnier than his domestic one so we are looking for a larger audience," said Ravell, who was inspired by U.S. political humorist Stephen Colbert and the animated television series "South Park."

My Favorite,
(Reuters) - The Swedish cartoonist whose sketch of the Prophet Mohammad has made him the target of Muslim anger said on Wednesday he had received more death threats since arrests were made this week over an alleged plot to kill him.
Lars Vilks, whose sketch had shown the Prophet Mohammad with the body of a dog, told Reuters the death threats had been made in Internet messages following the arrests by police in Ireland of seven people in connection with the alleged murder plot.
He said he had received a large number of threats since 2007, when his sketch was first published, but new ones were sent to him on Tuesday.
"They wanted to shoot me in the head with a shotgun," Vilks said, referring to one of the latest messages. "The other one was also about killing me."
Irish police said on Tuesday they had detained four men and three women in southern Ireland as part of an investigation into a murder conspiracy. A security source said the investigation was into a plot to murder Vilks.
In 2007, an Iraqi group linked to al Qaeda offered a $100,000 reward for Vilks' killing.
The 63-year-old, who continues to live at his home in southern Sweden and has no bodyguards, said he had no regrets about drawing the cartoons.
"If you mean to be a serious artist ... this will be the outcome sometimes -- that you will bump into borders with unseen consequences," he said.
Vilks said he had no political motive.
