For one, someone else’s religious mores should not apply to someone not sharing that faith. For example, why should the Hindu prohibition on beef apply to me? Why should the Muslim distaste for pork apply to a Hindu? Why should one religion’s prohibition on drawing a historical figure apply to anyone else?
The other issue is that there is only one religion I’m aware of that not only wishes to impose their rules on everyone else not sharing their faith but also commits murder to do so.
Draw Mohammed days seem like a fairly sensible way to drive home the point that free societies will not submit to the rules of other religions.
