#1 save a high res jpeg of the charlie hebdo cover - not "all is forgiven" because it isn't, but "100 lashes if you don't die laughing", sharia hebdo

make a logo "freedom is my religion" with 2 more mohammads: jyllands posten bomb mohammad and a happy mohammad for balance

put them on a t-shirt

proudly wear it.

they can censor it from the news media

but if you are freely expressing your own beliefs on your own t-shirt they can't censor that.

and be polite and nice, to all. be lovely to all muslims they might be secular allies you never know.

but that shirt says: i respect freedom which includes freedom for me to draw and display cartoons of mohammad. get used to it.

in this country yes you will see cartoons of mohammad. if you can't deal with it, there are 57 nations in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation where guaranteed you won't see a cartoon of mohammamd

but right here, you will because i will not give up my freedom for someone else's faith

#2 Read the whole thing, lots more at the link...

"...understand that Islamic imperialism has a good-cop-bad-cop game - or hard jihad, soft jihad. The hard jihad is fought via bombings and beheadings and burnings over barren bits of desert and jungle and cave country in the Middle East, Africa and the Hindu Kush. The soft jihad is a suppler enemy fighting for rather more valuable real estate in Europe, Australia and North America, so it uses western shibboleths of "diversity" and "multiculturalism" to enfeeble those societies. And it does so very effectively - so that when a British soldier is hacked to death on a London street in broad daylight, you can't really quite articulate what's wrong with it; or that, upon the death of the ugly king of a state where Christianity is prohibited, the Christian ministers of Westminster Abbey mourn his passing; or that, when Australians are held siege in a Sydney coffee shop, the reflexive response of progressive persons is to launch a social-media campaign offering to battle Islamophobia by helping Muslims get to work; or that, when violent Muslims stage their first explicit anti-free-speech attack on American soil, everyone thinks the mouthy free-speech broad is the problem. This soft jihad goes on every day of the week"

#5 The purpose of left-wing press is to make left-wing politicians look good. Sometimes, they try to do it by publishing things that make the later look good (or not publishing things that make them look bad). Sometimes, by publishing opinions that make left-wing politicians look moderate by comparison.
