I don't know this guy & I haven't seen any of his work but I admire his honesty & bravery. More & more people need to stand up for common sense & to defy all dogmatic thought, law & faith based intolerance - otherwise we will all be screwed.

The problem with the people who object to what Vilks is doing is they ignore that, as a non-Muslim, he is not bound by the proscription against depicting religious figures in art any more than non-Christians are obligated to attend services on Sundays.
