Last year, I got thousands of death threats from Muslims across all of my platforms on social media, in private messages, and in emails. I even got audio death threats in Facebook messenger. For the first time, the death threats I get spilled over into public posts, whereas before, most of them were usually in private messages and emails. What sparked this particular spike in death threats was that I was going to be the judge for the Mohammad Cartoon Contest that Geert Wilders announced in June 2018. Geert Wilders ended up cancelling the contest, which only made Muslims triumphantly deliver even more death threats.
I picked the “best” 400 death threats from the thousands I got, and placed them in my book, Peaceful Death Threats, which was an eye-opener for people, as it wasn’t just jihadists delivering these death threats, but average Muslims across the world, doctors and engineers, and even a pop star, which painted a very damning picture of Islamic culture at large.
And now I recently found a boatload of other rape and death threats from Muslims in hidden filtered messages in Facebook messenger, that numbered in the thousands. I picked out the “best” of them as well, and I ended up with nearly 1,300, which will make up the death threats for my next three volumes of Peaceful Death Threats, the second of which is now available for pre-order. (Those who ordered my book on Islamophiles, it’s coming, but I had to add more to it than I originally intended, and I think you’ll find it worth the wait). Thank you for your continued support. You can order Peaceful Death Threats 2 at my store.

Robert Spencer,
Because of your diligence in sharing the Truth. American’s and others worldwide have a clear understanding of what the “so called” religion of peace truly is… pure evil.
mortimer says
Kija … I believe you mean to say Bosch Fawstin should be congratulated for making people aware of the unpleasant truth that much or most of Islam is contradictory and OXYMORONIC … Islam is the opposite of what it claims … it isn’t the religion of peace or a higher morality or logical or reasonable or simplified theology or egalitarian, but the reverse of practically all claims made about it by its apologists.
Editorial cartoons like the excellent work of Fawstin help closed-minded people to ‘HEAR’ WITH THEIR EYES what they refuse to hear with their ears about Islam.
Thanks for this exposé of what Muslims really say when they aren’t using taqiyya.

Peaceful Death Threats 2
…………………..
The first book was both horrifying and completely hilarious–not an easy feat, but the talented Bosch Fawstin pulled it off! Despite these threats being so awful, I am very much looking forward to this second book. I’ll be ordering it today.
Carolyne says
Violence is the only thing most Muslims know, no matter how educated or what station in life they are. Drudge has an incredible article about Muslims cutting their own heads and that of their children to make blood flow all over them. I have seen “Penitentes” in Spain beat themselves with chains at Easter, but it appeared to be lightly and not injurious. Muslims are a different breed altogether with their death threats and murders.
winoceros says
This is common and annual in the Shia sect world-wide. Who can look the most remorseful and the probably justifiable slaying of Mohammed’s descendents.
Rarely says
However offensive, bigoted or tasteless any cartoon may be it doesn’t justify a death sentence. There must be an 11th Commandment in islam that states: “Thou shall not draw”.
gravenimage says
This is true, Rarely.
But how is criticizing the savagery of Islam–which is what Bosch Fawstin does in his cartoons–bigoted? He is himself an ex-Muslim.
Rarely says
I don’t know that any of the cartoons are bigoted because I’ve seen only a few. However, BF’s intent is to insult and enrage and, it seems he has been quite successful in achieving this despicable response. I get this impression from what BF has posted on this site and, if I misunderstand him, I’d like to know and be corrected.
gravenimage says
Muslims hate *anyone* who dares to criticize Islam.
Rarely says
gi.
True but I wonder what point BF is trying to make.
crawford421 says
He’s said his point many times: “You can’t silence me”
Rarely says
Crawford421.
I can see that as the response to “stop what you’re doing” but if he’s merely taunting in the first place that’s pretty silly.
Again I ask: “what point is he trying to make in the first place?”
winoceros says
That is a typically aliberal argument: “Why rock the boat?” Similar to the “good manners” argument.
When a free person is told that he may not draw Mohamed because of someone else’s religious convictions, and even worse, defaming the believer’s object of worship is also forbidden, a brave person acts.
He does not be quiet or succumb. He sets an example that all venues of criticism are valid to a people who believe He Who Must Not Be Described can never be criticized pictorially. Think of how the political cartoon has influenced the river of Western life. From Ogden Nash to my teen’s meme generator, free people have an outlet to draw whatever they want to.
The goal, sir, is to set an example that all criticism is available to Muslims so they can more frankly examine the basis of their ridiculous and harmful belief system.
It is less a judgment and more a primer: nothing is above scrutiny in a post-Enlightenment society.
Rarely says
winoceros
What you have written would be your motivation to draw cartoons. But what is BF’s? It sounds like it is simply to ridicule islam The Spencer sponsored “Draw mohammed” contest was to take a stand for Freedom of Speech regardless of the repercussions. What is BF trying to do here?
BTW. I’m neither questioning BF’s right to do this nor am I suggesting islam is immune from criticism.
gravenimage says
The idea that exposing the ugliness of Islam is “pretty silly” is just appalling.
Wellington says
Rarely: Islam is evil and evil needs to be mocked and criticized. The only thing more important than making fun of evil is crushing it. Since Bosch Fawstin cannot crush Islam (who can?) he chooses the next best thing—mocking it. Ridicule, you know, on its own can do a great deal of damage and a great deal of damage done to iniquity is a very good thing.
winoceros says
It’s even more than that. It’s to show that as a result of that outrage, Muslims are commanded the Qur’an and ahadith to punish and kilk those who cause mischief…even examples from Muhammed’s own life where his thin-skinned petulant temper tantrum caused him to ask his weak-willed sycophants to kill the mockers.
Nowhere else is there a system of personal affront leading to justifiable murder mandated. North Korea maybe? And I wonder if you clutch the pearls at Matt Stone and Trey Parker at mocking Kim Jun Il, who is set up as a divine figure? No, I suspect we all find that funny, and acceptable, ribbing because we don’t expect the stubby minions of that cult leader to slit us from ear to ear for doing it.
Showing Muslims that you cannot kill the world because they draw and mock Mohammed shows them their own brittleness, brutality and barbarism. The point is made with every threat that it is Islam causing the problem…not the brave Mr. Fatwin.
Arguing for no “taunting” as you call it? That’s just kicking the can down the road. The sooner that prohibition is ignored by Muslims, the closer they are to seeing their way through other arbitrary and toothless strictures. Draw on, shine a light on this petty icon and his fits of pique and self-importance.
If I decide to worship Billy Idol, and told everyone I would kill them if they drew Billy Idol, would I not be ridiculed, memed and the subject of every 7th grade art project? And I would deserve the mocking. Imbuing an entity’s likeness with the power to cause a murder might as well be voodoo. Absurd.
Mohammed is ridiculous, and people who revere him are twice as ridiculous and mentally deficient. God help those who follow in that cult simply to survive themselves.
winoceros says
Been here 15 years and even our allies are still afraid. We are to knock down false idols, whether we are religious or even simply enlightened. Have faith. What was that old book…”Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.”
If you worry about an offended Muslim, think, “I only drew Billy Idol…get over it, you misguided savage.”
gravenimage says
Fine posts, winoceros.
FYI says
Well done to anybody who leaves islam..
No doubt there is an element of psychological projection involved in the hatred visited on ex-muslims:an ex-muslim has seen through the baloney of islam.
ex-muslims have figured it out.
1}The “perfect” koran
Look at allah’s criterion of k4:82″If {the koran} had been from other than allah they would have found therein much incongruity”
If you can find ANY mistakes or errors or incongruities in the koran that means that allah’s word is IMPERFECT.
If allah’s word is imperfect,allah cannot be God{as God must be perfect}as allah’s imperfection is revealed through errors in allah’s “perfect” word.
You know about the Scientific errors in the koran:it is obvious that the nonsense of the sun setting in a muddy pool shows a mindset that has misunderstood scale and the size of a star,the moon was never split in half etc
Other errors exist{The Jews say “Ezra is the son of allah” k9:30,mary part of the Trinity,”Abraham was not Jew” k3:67,Jesus having the Gospel{k5:46}..whilst in the crib k19:29-30..all WRONG}
The koran cannot be a “perfect” book
2)The “prophet” muhammed
..who FAILED the Poison test revealing him to be a false prophet?
Don’t forget muhammed’s FLYING HORSE.
You cannot follow the sunnah of muhammed and be a morally good person.
3}the Doctrine of hate{al walaa wal baraa}
There is no “Love thy neighbor” in islam.No Golden Rule..
You figured out that islam is a made up religion based on a pagan Arab god al Lah.
Well done if you are an ex-muslim!

Cross-thread query for Anjuli Pandaver…..or anyone else who cares to respond: This individual got huge numbers of death threats from Muslims. Youve gotten death threats from Muslims. So out of the billion and a half Muslims in the world, how many are, realistically, going to (1) reason their way out of Islam and (2) brave all the death threats, say nothing of actual (sprip typo-and-cant-edit-out) (scripturally commanded) actual violence to assert their freedom? And by the time these few dozens have come forward, how many million Muslim babies will become jihadis-in-training? Do note please that there are pious Muslims in todays world who killed their first kafir at five or six years of age…….
winoceros says
elee,
It is daunting. Do not despair. Social change comes from a small movement early on, but once the derision of these beliefs becomes more prevalent, it will cost some Muslims less to just ignore it than to act. Not all, and deaths will continue. But do not rule out the power of peer pressure and trends and human sheepish behavior. Have faith.
gravenimage says
Much as I respect apostates from Islam, I don’t think we can count on all Muslims leaving their faith.
Rick says
Does the Koran, anywhere, have something like the 10 commandments to define human behavior ??
David says
I believe the Sharia takes care of all that stuff. Basically the antithesis of the Ten Commandments.I think I will have a go at compiling this!
FYI says
For those muslims who say drawing pictures of muhammed ridicules islam..
Do you know what ridicules muhammed and islam?
islamic teachings about muhammed.
Abu Dawud 40:4731 “When Ubaydallah saw him he said..”That prophet of yours is FAT and a DWARF”
Sahih Bukhari # 2442 muhammed the cross-dresser{wearing aisha’s dress}
And let’s not forget that muhammed had a MAGICAL WINGED FANTASY FLYING HORSE WITH A WOMAN’S FACE AND A PEACOCK’S TAIL called buraq that nobody ever saw{..let’s face it muhammed didn’t either… because he made it up didn’t he?}and he went to Jerusalem on it ..to visit..what mosque was it now?
muhammed,according to these islamic sources, was a FAT,CROSS-DRESSING DWARF with a MAGICAL WINGED FLYING HORSE
As for al Lah?
With his ONE leg,TWO RIGHT HANDS{sahih muslim 1827} and THREE pagan godess daughters{ k53:19-20}?
The ONENESS of allah muslims tell us{the tawhid}..with his TWO RIGHT HANDS AND ONE LEG?
Pull the other leg!
How nuts is that?
islamic teachings ridicule muhammed and al lah.
David says
Thanks FYI. Stuff I have not heard about before.
Imagine Muhammad describing Buraq to his followers. “Are you crazy?” ” Sorry I did not mean that. Don’t kill me.”
Ruth Richard says
Leander, what a hodge-podge of English, German, a Gospel and the Qu’ran. What do you mean by “The Devils Connection from the false christianity into the quoran in German”?? Your mother tongue is neither English nor German. What is it? What’s your religion? Why comparing the Gospel of Matthew with Medinan (exept one) Suras? I just don’t get it, sorry!
winoceros says
I think he means the apochrypha and tales that didn’t make it into the Bible.

Leander is referring to “Gospel of the Pseudo-Matthew”–part of the Apocrypha–but his claims are pretty wonky.

Agreed, Marc. These threats are not just ugly–many of them are completely unhinged. I knew there would be too many for one book, even though that includes over 400 of them.

In remembrance of 9/11….I remember when the dhimmi dimwit, President Bush, surrendered America to Islam so that it could more easily conquer the West, not with military aggression or violence, but with non-violent stealth jihad and hijrah when he delivered this taqiyya propaganda:

Was George being sarcastic? What he says is unbelievable, except the last statement: Our enemy is terrorists and every government that supports them. TRUE!
gravenimage says
There is no doubt that President Bush was all too clueless about Islam, but your implication that he wanted Islam to conquer us is calumny. In fact, most Muslims *hated* Bush for being as tough on Islam as he was–they much preferred Obama.

If “Doctors and Engineers” are sending you death threats,may I suggest you tell them to go on You Tube and look at……… “Scientific mistakes in quran”?
See if the Doctors can explain WHY allah gets Human Biology completely wrong?
Imagine if a modern Doctor read a medical manual from the 7-8th century:everything would be wrong.
The koran is ludicrously mistaken in Astronomy and Biology.
The author of the koran{“allah”},given his WRONG science,if he sat a modern Biology exam ,would most certainly fail.
See if the Engineers,who presumably have a knowledge of Physics{newtonian mechanics at least}
can explain HOW the sun sets in a muddy pool:I mean,a star is an ENORMOUS celestial object and it is obvious the author of the koran didn’t have any conception of size and scale.And WHEN precisely was the moon split in HALF..especially when no Astronomers in Persia,India,China,Europe,the mayans etc saw that happening?
Any Doctor or Engineer who knows science and doesn’t see the problem of a koran riddled with scientific errors is either wilfully blind or in denial of reality.Or an idiot.
