.... of every masterpiece displayed at the event, not one was a frivolous cartoon drawn with the simply goal of insulting Muslims or putting Muhammad in some sort of “bad light.” There were no drawings of Muhammad as a pig or dog, or the prophet being sodomized or molested, as much anti-Muhammad art is angrily done. The art served a much more important purpose.
Each piece told a story of Muhammad’s life, as told by the Quran and Hadith. Each one was a historically accurate representation of his actions throughout history and his powerful and dangerous influence even to this present day.
 Many of the pieces captured Muhammad’s murderous actions, shedding light on his violent expeditions against Jews and Christians.
 These two particular works bring to life the Islamic violence that has touched and continues to infiltrate every country on earth.
This care and purpose was not only demonstrated by the artists’ themselves, but also by Pamela Geller and the AFDI, by whom these specific pieces were chosen to be displayed.
Now that you know the setting of the gallery portion of the event, know that the purpose of our gathering was not a provocation aimed at Muslims, but a response.
Immediately after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Muslims gathered at the Curtis Culwell center in a distasteful and selfish move against free speech that criticizes Islamic ideology and the Prophet Muhammad. While the bodies were still fresh in the ground, these “moderates” showed America that the only concern they have after Islamic terror is for future opposition to remain silent.
One artist compared Muhammad’s maniacal commands to slaughter to those of Charles Manson.
[ This one ought to have been a second place winner ... for what is the difference between the two leaders, both of whom fostered violence and sent out followers to kill? Other than that one has much much more blood on his hands. ]

In an attempt to dictate what we as a nation can and cannot say, draw, or do, these American Muslims united to reach this common goal. In response to their endeavor to undermine our constitutional rights, we gathered to say to them, “You will not dictate what we criticize. A foreign ideology that refuses to coexist with democracy and freedom does not define our already outlined rights. And we will not remain silent and compliant while you try to do it.”
Just as ex-Muslim Bosch Fawstin’s winning piece demonstrates, we must defy tyrannical opposition for the sake of freedom. What they say we must not do, we must do. When they threaten us with violence, we must not cower and comply.
 Bosch Fawstin’s winning piece might not have been the most detailed, but it represents our gathering best. “You cannot draw me,” shouts Muhammad as he raises his sword against the artist. “That’s why I draw you,” responds the artist, unfazed by the threat.
