On a serious note…
In conjunction with , there are some illustrations of Mohammed with the Neo name on them being passed around the club. We have a few things that we'd like to say about this.
First of all, we don't have a problem with the concept behind the event. As creative people ourselves, we don't feel that anyone should be censored, and certainly no religion is above social or political satire. However, Everybody Draw Mohammed Day is not meant to be a platform for racism, and in this instance that's all that it is.
We find the artwork in question offensive and absolutely do not in any way condone it. You will not see these cards at our events. We have expressed our views to the management as well, and the club is disassociating itself immediately.
We invite all people of any race or religion. Atomic is a party; we are here to have fun, not to judge, and we hope to create an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable.
Sincerely,
Lisa and Kamar
