French paper publishes Mohammed cartoons, France steps up security at embassies

New protests expected I guess.

Here is what the editor said:


"The freedom of the press, is that a provocation?" he said. "I'm not asking strict Muslims to read Charlie Hebdo, just like I wouldn't go to a mosque to listen to speeches that go against everything I believe."


The Prime minister:
French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said anyone offended by cartoons could take the matter to the courts after expressing his "disapproval of all excesses".
But he emphasised France's tradition of free speech. "We are in a country where freedom of expression is guaranteed, including the freedom to caricature," he said on RTL radio.
"If people really feel offended in their beliefs and think there has been an infringement of the law – and we are in a state where laws must be totally respected – they can go to court," Ayrault said.

They need to learn that we're not going to give up our liberties to appease them.

So long as they weren't topless.

They have every right to do so, but it seems publishing them during ongoing riots against that Mohammed film is deliberately provocative.

[Oklop]

This is the same paper that already published the caricatures. Couple of years ago.

There must be a term for this. It seems like a derivate of the Streisand effect. The more you flip out over some injustice done to you the trolls feel compelled to piss you off even more.

Or is it a competition? If yes, how does scoring work? Embassy burnt down 10 points, each day of rioting point?

Or it is psycho therapy to make Islamic countries chill out and get through their anger management issues.

French embassy's are on guard against attack.Some closing.

My respect for the French media and France in general has increased tenfold!

[Armenum]

Who is the genius behind this?

It's like shaking the bee's nest, then being surprised that the bees bite. Take the higher road and just be respectful.

I can't tell you how surprised I would be if a bee bit me.

Again? Seriously? Now some idiots act like idiots, and then some idiots will respond to this, acting again like idiots.

Normally, this would be extremely entertaining, and I would just be sitting back, eating popcorn, while I watch these idiots fight it out amongst themselves. But sadly the entertainment value falls drastically when innocent people get hurt, or buildings razed.

French have every right to publish those cartoons due to the freedom of expression.

Muslims have every right to protest and burn the embassies due to the freedom of protest.

Yes but both are insensible acts. People can be a bit more mature for God's sake.

I can't tell you how surprised I would be if a bee bit me.

I wouldn't

I wouldn't

Bees don't really have mouths, man.

Yes but they have a stinger...

As do Muslims?:

No you have absolutely no rights to engage in violence. You have freedom of peaceful protest.

[Col. Tartleton]

French have every right to publish those cartoons due to the freedom of expression.

Muslims have every right to protest and burn the embassies due to the freedom of protest.

They also have a right to get shot to death.

As do Muslims?:

Proudly supplied by the US of A.

The guy who makes copies of French flags will be rich soon as the Tricolour will be burning all over the Medieval East, once again.

Actually, most of the anger is still going to be directed against the US, rather than France. US is still the symbol of the "Crusader West" as it's the sole superpower and is very active in the Middle East region.
