Would it have had it's own thread in the glory days of Thumped?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Back then we might have found out some titbit of info here that we didn't already know, now everyone knows whatever it is you have to say about it before you even found out yourself

I'll confess then,I don't know very much,at all.

Would you say that their pornographic drawings of the prophet were really in defence of free speech or were they just trolling?

Isn't that academic?
The fact is that free speech allows you to mock leaders, icons and deities.
It's as true with Piss Christ or Gay Putin as it is for Naked Mohammed.

Sharpening Contradictions: Why al-Qaeda attacked Satirists in Paris | Informed Comment

Al-Qaeda wants to mentally colonize French Muslims, but faces a wall of disinterest. But if it can get non-Muslim French to be beastly to ethnic Muslims on the grounds that they are Muslims, it can start creating a common political identity around grievance against discrimination.

I'm sure its an old trick

If these cartoons were printed in the daily mail there would be global outrage.
The fawning adulation this dross is about to receive because it's "satire"...
Free speech, you never quite get the heroes you'd like to, do you!

RTE showed video footage of that on the six news last night. The screen went dark as yer man was shooting, but they left the sound on.

Very bad taste I though.

I guess they are a bit too puerile even for the Daily Mail,
The Sun perhaps?

In their defence they don't have the Muslim=terrorist vibe that most of this genre has.

They are pretty humourless though.

have to say I was surprised at the age profile of the people killed

The victims: renowned cartoonists, a principled economist

60 to 80 year olds

Not exactly the Onion staff.
