How to commit blasphemy
A graphical example.
Step1 - draw a man:
Step2 - explain that you are portraying the prophet Mohammed:
Step3 - sit back and wait for the fundamentalist Islamic clerics to put a fatwa on your ass and declare war against you and your country.
The events surrounding the publication of drawings of the prophet Mohammed in the Danish daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten a couple of months ago has taken an even more dramatic turn for the worse.A large Islamic extremist party in Pakistan has offered a reward of 50,000 kroner to anyone who kills any of the artists.
I forgot to mention Step4 - if you live in Victoria, you can expect to be prosecuted under our blasphemy laws for offending people's religious views.
