It’s a sort of Where Are They Now? post, except the answer is she’s not dead just yet.

Molly Norris, the US cartoonist who inspired the “Everybody Draw Mohammad Day” online protest has been publically placed on a hit list by Al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki.

From the New York Daily News:

A CHARISMATIC terror leader linked to the botched Times Square car bomb has placed the Seattle cartoonist who launched “Everybody Draw Muhammed Day” on an execution hit list.


Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki – the radical who has also been cited as inspiring the Fort Hood, Tex., massacre and the plot by two New Jersey men to kill U.S. soldiers – singled out artist Molly Norris as a “prime target,” saying her “proper abode is hellfire.


FBI officials have notified Norris and warned her they consider it a “very serious threat.”


In an English-language Al Qaeda magazine that calls itself “Inspire,” Awlaki damns Norris and eight others for “blasphemous caricatures” of the Prophet Muhammed. The other cartoonists, authors and journalists in Awlaki’s cross hairs are Swedish, Dutch and British citizens.

Norris later took the cartoon down from her website and went all squiffy about the idea.…but they want her dead regardless. It must be really annoying for all those thousands of people who took part that there is only room for 8 targets on the list. You’d feel miffed if your cartoon wasn’t insulting enough, wouldn’t you?
