Je Suis Charlie

R.I.P. To those that died at Charlie Hebdo and the kosher market today.





Hate and anti-semitism are still very much prevalent in the world today and this is a painful reminder.
 
Should be more like Je n'ai pas été Charlie. They were singled out because most papers/media only preach freedom of speech, CH actually took it seriously.

^Yep. And either mostly refusing to publish the cartoons outright or doing so in a censored way. Professing solidarity with the murdered whilst paying fealty to their murderers. Disgusting
 
Defending freedom of speech and condemning the violent acts of an extremist few doesn't mean that you have to agree with the published content of Charlie or reprint it.


They are two separate things.

Calm down there big dog.
 
At least R. Crumb was there to represent 'Murica

"Hundreds of millions of Muslims support an attack like this. They applaud an attack like this. What they say is, ‘We don’t approve of violence, but you know what? When you make fun of the Prophet, all bets are off.”

There's 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. You don't think 15% of them could be in favor of punishment for blasphemy?

It's probably higher. Just look at our own right-wing Xian fundies. Whenever an abortion doctor is killed there's a whole lot of, "We oppose violence, but..." going on.





I don't know who Rock was quoting - maybe Bill Maher. But the quote is not wrong.
 
So Charlie are going with another Mohammed cartoon on their cover.

Of course, the wheaksawce Telegraph has failed to show the whole cover.





#EtesVousVraimentCharlieOuSimplementMerdeDePoulet?
 
Here's the cover if you haven't seen it already http://mic.com/articles/108288/here-is-charlie-hebdo-s-next-cover-and-it-s-absolutely-perfect
 
2000 Nigerians were killed by Boko Haram on the same day.


Will the world leaders go and link arms there next?
 
It appears 2000 dead Nigerians don't seem to serve a political agenda in the West, so the reporting is of the tumbleweed nature in the mainstream outlets.





I read the bit about them sending a 10-year old girl into a crowd with a suicide vest on and remotely triggering it.





Truly sickening.





Where is the Nigerain Army doe?
