Brian michael ramirez, have you ever drawn a cartoon of mohammed, and if you have not, would you . Michael you know, i havent. And i probably would not comment to be honest with you. I dont do controversial cartoons just for the sake of controversy.

When i read this, it was the first thing i wanted to ask you about. We will talk about your book. Are you really the brother to two sisters that are medical doctors and two brothers as well . Michael i am. And their spouses are as well.
