The Ever-Present and the Disappeared

Let's compare a clash of, er, threats, shall we? When a nice imam and his charming Missus get unspecified threats because the imam wants to build a triumphalist mosque friendly neighborhood interfaith center as close to Ground Zero as possible, police move heaven and earth to protect them.

When a Seattle-based 'toonist, in response to Comedy Central's backing down to a threat from a jihadi, cheekily calls for an "Everybody Draw Mohammad Day"--and doesn't even participate in it herself--police do nada when she is threatened, advising her that the best thing for all concerned would be for her to relinquish her identity and become a "ghost".
