Everybody Introduce Prophet Mohammed Day

Everybody Introduce Prophet Mohammed Day! is a campaign started by leading Islamic internet dawah makers and websites from different countries. The campaign is targeting 1 Million internet post introducing Prophet Mohammed to Non-Muslims. Every Muslim who have access to the internet should introduce Prophet Mohammed to 10 Non-Muslims anywhere on the internet, either through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs, or standard e-mail.
Background
Unanimously, all Islamic Scholars and all Muslims around the world consider it blasphemous to visual depict Prophet Muhammad, the last Prophet of Islam. Recently, South Park, responded to appeals of Muslims not to show episode by Comedy Central which have visuals showing Prophet Muhammad. People who are unaware of what are the reasons for Muslims being so hurt for visually depicting Muhammad have protested this censorship and announced a Everybody Draw Mohammed Day. On 20th April, 2010, a drawing appeared on Internet announcing May 20th to be an international day where everybody should create a drawing of Prophet Mohammed as an event supporting unrestricted freedom of speech. The drawing went viral on the internet, and within one week the idea became popular on Facebook, was supported by numerous bloggers, and generated coverage on the blog websites of major U.S. newspapers.
Response
Muslims first responded to this by planning to boycott facebook for not censoring anti-Islam content. It was suggested through various facebook groups like AGAINST "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" and other fan pages to boycott FaceBook on 20th May.
But now, using the situation to their advantage, instead of calling for boycott of Facebook, a campaign to introduce Prophet Muhammad was launched on 18th May 2010, just two days before 20th May. The facebook page [http://facebook.com/Mohammed.Day May 20th: Everybody Introduce Prophet Mohammed Day!] launched on 18th May is very popular and in a day have more than 6000 fans.
Comments on the above facebook page are very positive and fans feel this is the best way to positively respond to actions which are directly just to hurt Muslims.
On this day, Muslims, will be sharing sayings and stories from the life of Prophet Muhammad through through their networks. The campaign is targeting 1 Million internet post on May 20th introducing Prophet Mohammed, to Non-Muslims.

Introduction
A facebook page/event has been set up for May the 20th, and this event has been called draw Muhammad day. So as a response, this page has been created, for Muslims to come and defend the honour of Muhammad. The way we shall respond is not by violence, or threats, or insults. No, we shall respond back with wisdom, and with the most important tool we have, the truth.
The prophet Muhammad himself stated that the strong Muslim was the one who could control his anger, and control his emotions, therefore all Muslims should follow this example.
Responding with threats does not defend the prophet, rather it simply feeds the propaganda, and makes them say 'look! You see , we are right, the Muslims are violent!' Therefore as Muslims we should be better.
On May 20th we shall release our own video, a video which shall compile some of the greatest examples of the prophet Muhammad. You to can take part, by posting several Islamic narrations that showed the kindness, mercy, humbleness, generosity, and sincerity of the prophet Muhammad. If you choose to do more, and want to make your own video, then do so!
Let us show everyone what a great man Muhammad was, and rather than mocking him, he should be praised and given the utmost respect. So join up, and forward this group to your friends, so they join as well.
So come, let us defend the honour of Muhammad, and let us do this with dignity, respect, and wisdom.
