It makes one wonder if a publication were to make a back biting joke about the holocaust how much indignation it would bring about? Yet to poke at one of the most sacred tenants of Islam (making a picture of Mohamad) brings cries of freedom of expression. The publishers of that rag seem to have had no respect for such a thing. They poked at the hornets' nest and were bitten. I am not Charlie!

indignation =/= murder.

[Mariana Xiechai]

indignation =/= murder.

Yeah no kidding. Political outcry and protests and whanot is one thing. Encourage boycotting if you're pissed. Twelve people being slaughtered isn't just "being indignant."

Yes it's a rag, it's a SATIRICAL Newspaper. Do they even pretended the contrary ? It make them even more a symbol of that freedom of expression. Does publishing caricature is worth a massacre ? Are you gonna live in a cave not to "poke the hornet's nest" ?  They are fanatics why do you talk of "poke" and "bite", such weak words, instead of "opinion" and "free massacre"?

Je suis Charlie.

What gets me is all the Muslims pushing blasphemy laws in Christian dominated countries and not realizing that those laws would make them, the Muslims, all criminals as Islam came about by heresy. The god that gave his only son to die for the sins of the world is not the same god that used a mere mortal for the same purpose. Then again Christianity is a Jewish heresy too, so where does it stop? If you are Scandinavian do you have to worship Odin and the gang? What gods came before them? Do Greeks have to follow Apollo, et al? The Roman's Zeus? Did I get those backwards?

People should be allowed to express themselves. It's a basic freedom - something that not everyone has. Without the safety to think and speak freely, we are a step closer to being slaves to the will of another.

These *individuals* could have used their freedom of speech to say that they did not like these cartoons. Instead, they chose to go on a murderous rampage and then attempt to cleanse themselves of the guilt of doing so by claiming that it was for a good cause. This layer of deceit may cleanse them of their guilt in their own eyes, but it does not in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Just because it was reported that last words were "X paid for this" doesn't mean X was more than a middleman or that the dying man was not intentionally misinformed. New surveillance powers for the spooks were called for awfully quickly. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
