I kind of have mixed feelings about this one, I'm definitely a free speech advocate but wonder if this is really about free speech, or an opportunity to insult Muslims. I would put it in the same category as "Burn an American Flag Day" or "Deny the Holocaust Day." Sure it's expressions of free speech, but that seems potentially a cover for something more sinister.

I wonder what would happen if some toast with the likeness of Muhammad ended up on eBay.

I won't participate in this 'day'. As idiotic as I think the threats (and pulling of content) are, as insane as I think the extremists are there is no need to insult an entire religion and all we're doing is perpetrating stereotypes.

I think pretty much every subject has that pro/con line and I think there is indeed a sinister side, just look at the 2nd link.

That aside, I'd support it mearly because its thumbing nose at a smaller group of another group that is bullying our freedoms and in one instance murdering someone for expressing it.
