On the Advice of the FBI, Cartoonist Molly Norris Disappears From View

Her work won't be in Seattle Weekly anymore, or anywhere else.

By Mark D. Fefer Wednesday, Sep 15 2010


You may have noticed that Molly Norris' comic is not in the paper this week. 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. She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor. She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection program—except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab. It's all because of the appalling fatwa issued against her this summer, following her infamous "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" cartoon.

Norris views the situation with her customary sense of the world's complexity, and absurdity. When FBI agents, on a recent visit, instructed her to always keep watch for anyone following her, she joked, "Well, at least it'll keep me from being so self-involved!" It was, she says, the first time the agents managed a smile. She likens the situation to cancer—it might basically be nothing, it might be urgent and serious, it might go away and never return, or it might pop up again when she least expects it.

We're hoping the religious bigots go into full and immediate remission, and we wish her the best.

Anyway, Rappy, you're a HYPOCRITE for ignoring all of the CHRISTIAN and JEWISH and BUDDHIST folks who try to censor people with violence.

Several people on this board CHEERED when Scott Roeder "censored" Dr. George Tiller's life in a church, all for the "crime" of performing perfectly legal medical procedures and giving access to health care to women who couldn't get it elsewhere. Rappy never uttered a word against such religious violence, because it came from people he fundamentally agrees with.

Nope, that's you who is imagining that his head was severed. Never happened. You're repeating lies again.

To the best of my recollection, I've gone to a good bit of effort to make that point very clear, that not ALL are terrorists,

"Assassination

Mohammed Bouyeri murdered Van Gogh in the early morning of 2 November 2004, in Amsterdam, in front of the Amsterdam East borough office on the corner of the Linnaeusstraat and Tweede Oosterparkstraat, while he was cycling to work. Bouyeri shot van Gogh eight times with an HS 2000 handgun, and Van Gogh died on the spot. Bouyeri then attempted to decapitate him with one knife, and stabbed him in the chest with another. The two knives were left implanted in his torso, one attaching a five-page note to his body.
The killer, Mohammed Bouyeri, a 26-year-old Dutch-Moroccan citizen, was apprehended by the police after being shot in the leg. Bouyeri has alleged terrorist ties with the Dutch Hofstad Network. He was also charged with the attempted murder of several police officers and bystanders, illegal possession of a firearm, and conspiring to murder others. Imam Fawaz of the as-Sunnah Mosque in The Hague gave a sermon several weeks before the murder in which he called Theo van Gogh "a 'criminal bastard' and prayed for the filmmaker to be afflicted with an incurable disease." The murder of Theo Van Gogh sparked a storm of outrage throughout the Netherlands."

I didn't lie, you did. Van Gogh was nearly decapitated, his head left dangling by the severed fleshy remains of his bloody neck. Lemme guess, because the murdering Muslim left a note with another knife plinged into Van Gogh's chest, does that also make it a freedom of speech issue for you? I'm sure your well-honed liberal sensibilities of Muslim useful-idiotness make you all torn about the case.

Yeah, go about their daily routine and peacefully build their mosque, but not at the WTC site.

You're full of shit, yet again. YOU said that "Theo van Gogh must have only imagined that his head was severed on a city street". He couldn't have "imagined" it, because his head wasn't severed, AND he was dead before the guy even tried and failed to sever his head.

Now, had you just mentioned that he'd been MURDERED by a Muslim fanatic, I'd have had no problem agreeing. Instead, in your fevered rush to try to conflate it into something much bigger, much worse, you stepped over the line into outright lying.

Niki, I've switched off my Buddhism chip.

Riverhate is an obnoxious self-deluded asswipe. It's jihad is against peeps who reject common misperceptions interpreted as raw fact by dickwads who cannot think for themselves, preferring to let the vile likes of Rush Limboo & Jabba the Hut do their thinking FOR them.
Then said douchebag proceeds to label all dissent as "Liberal," as if that were the end of it.

I am not a Liberal. I am not a Conservative. I am a REALIST. As much as is possible in this grey-area world we live in. There are NO easy answers, except those provided TO us by the extreme Nazi tactics employed by BOTH Left & Right jerkweeds.

EFF YOU, Riverhate.
I mean that politely, BTW.

Those words are far more innocent than when Kwicko wrote that I was full of sh*t and called me a liar. Called me a liar, even after I posted a cite which proved I was right. Why don't you first deal with your own rabid dogs, Kwicko and Chrisisall, before you start pontificating to me about tone and content, not that I expect you to, and not that I even care how their hate manifests itself. Seems they just can't stand to lose any argument, so they dive into the gutter and reveal their true selves. If you choose not to deal with them, I will understand your difficult situation. Must be tough juggling your Miss Liberal responsibilities while still having to defend and protect the foaming nasties that surround you.
