French Magazine Reprints Mohammed Cartoon After Their Office Was Fire-Bombed By Islamists…
Well played.
PARIS (Reuters) — A French satirical weekly whose office was fire bombed after it printed a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad has reproduced the image with other caricatures in a special supplement distributed with one of the country’s leading newspapers.
The weekly Charlie Hebdo defended “the freedom to poke fun” in the four-page supplement, which was wrapped around copies of the left-wing daily Liberation on Thursday, a day after an arson attack gutted Charlie Hebdo’s Paris headquarters.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place hours before an edition of Charlie Hebdo hit news stands featuring a cover-page cartoon of Mohammad and a speech bubble with the words: “100 lashes if you don’t die of laughter.”
The weekly, known for its irreverent treatment of the political establishment and religious figures, bore the headline “Charia Hebdo,” in a reference to Muslim sharia law, and said that week’s issue had been guest-edited by Mohammad.
The incident pits Europe’s tradition of free speech and secularism against Islam’s injunction barring any depictions seen as mocking the prophet. The publication of cartoons of Mohammad in a Danish newspaper in 2005 sparked unrest in the Muslim world in which at least 50 people were killed.

Defending freedom no matter the cost!
I applaud these brave Westerners and their braver pens.
Give them Frenchies a Hell Yeah!
Someone in France actually grew a set and stood up to these 7th century moongod worshiping death cult savages. Huzzah !
Frogs with balls! Who’d a thunk?
Good for them. Maybe they can lend some of their balls to the GOP in this country.
Watch all 4 parts. Ann Barnhardt really shows why they think this way.

Kev they worship boy anus and absolutely hate females, and unless people see the entire video set (4 videos) they won’t believe it.
I can’t believe these dumbass muslims get worked up over something as stupid as this. There’s nothing in that cartoon that would positively identify it as a caricature of mohammed. It looks like some goofy Arab guy with googly eyes and a pickle nose – it could be anyone.
Now if the person depicted was holding a bloody scimitar, or maybe there was a cartoon child standing next to him in a wedding gown, or maybe a cartoon goat with a swollen bloody anus, then the casual reader might be able to easily identify that as a caricature of mohammed, but without those contextual clues it could be any old arab idiot.
On second thought, even with those contextual clues, it STILL could be any old arab idiot.
They really had to reprint.
……unless they intend to let the Islamist minority of France dictate the laws.
Damn shame when we have to look to the fucking French for wisdom. Damn shame.
If you allow them to profit from their behavior, they’ll keep doing what you don’t like.
Islamists gained nothing by their actions. They changed nothing.
.
Very Brave and Bravo!
Heh,heh. Braver than the NYT ot the WashPost.
It will not get better. Left wing women editors seem to have adoration for Muslim wife beaters.

—————-
It’s not that they have adoration for Moslem wife beaters. It is because they are actually *afraid* of Islam and Moslem wife beaters. They are too afraid to stand up to them and they are helping to sell the Western World out to Islam. They are cowards. They need to get a set of balls. I reject Islamic thought, I reject it’s teachings and what it stands for. Islam wants to destroy the West. Liberals in the west need to get a set of balls and stand up to these 7th century Thugs ………

Lefties with guts, who knew?
Credit where credit is due, a salut to freedom of speech for them!
Now let’s see the New York Slimes step up to the plate…
crickets….
gutless leftard maroons.
Still hanging on to the memory of that genocidal liar Walter Duranty and his putzer, uh, pulitzer price …
I have read the newspaper – no big deal, really.
The newspaper is always much more critical of Jews and Christians in their ususal satire.
the Verdun spirit is not yet totaly extinguished!
Monsieur Hebdo, your limousine is waiting.
Well played, sir- well played indeed.
Also, @ Not Sure- outstanding analysis. Could not agree more, except to perhaps introduce animal husbandry (e.g., goats and sheep) into your description.
This act has restored my faith in the People of France.
Any one know a link to this comic?
So now France has more balls to stand up to the muzz than we do.
How long before Barry’s French OWS Rioters go on another “outrage rampage” and burn Paris to the ground?
How long before the Oakland branch of Barry’s OWS Riot Squad has a “Solidarity Riot” to show their outrage for their French allies?
The real France stands tall.
muslims, not islamists but regular, ordinary, everyday muslims support, encourage, and applaud the actions of what people like to call “extremists”. The so-called extremists are just ordinary muslims doing what ordinary muslims do, and that is to advance the cause of islam by destroying everything that is NOT islamic. Everything.
I have been a F**K France kind of guy for years…..anybody here remember Zappa’s “In France” song?
But I have to agree that in this situation they are right on the money. GO FROGS!
Kudos!
Frenchies with cajones? When did this start?
Standing ovation, Charlie Hebdo!
There is a reason why they ( Islam and the left) do not allow a competition of ideas— they both are going to gets us all exterminated–they are both monumental lies
Islam: What the West Needs to Know – FULL LENGTH ENGLISH …
GO FRANCE!
A) Hot damn, maybe the Eiffel Tower actually represented something, after all. Hasn’t seemed like it in years… And B), Not Sure, your first analysis made me laugh, but your “on second thought” made me chortle. Touche’..!
Bravo!
