On 20 May 2010 the first Draw Muhammad Day took place as an initiative of a Seattle cartoonist, Molly Norris, following threats against two cartoonists who depicted Muhammad negatively in an episode of the American animated series South Park. The original idea was to hold a competition to draw Muhammad, which would generate so many drawings that the threat to free speech would be impossible to carry out and so lose its sting. The initiative has resulted in thousands of insulting cartoons on the net, originally aimed at a few radical Muslims who sent death threats, but also offending millions of peaceful Muslim believers.
