Why I'm not Charlie and never will be

Jesus died 2015 year ago, longer than the prophet and do we be blasphemous towards him? Christians celebrate Christmas to show their love and devotion.

It's because Africans welcomed missionaries as liberators during colonisation. When the Pope came in Paris was a large crowd which came to see him. Catholics are therefore shown as slaves. The word "*******" was used because many of these Catholics are also far-right racists.
The paper is full of double-entendre and provocative puns. I say again that it is strongly anarchist/marxist, in the tradition of many other similar papers since the 19th century (such as l'Assiette au Beurre).


These are from ~1900.

In regards to my previous post, I still do not understand how white men illustrating a black female politician as a monkey is supposed to be satire.

Them being "anarchist" is irrelevant. A person cannot make racist caricatures and then say, "it's ok, I'm not right-wing!". This is too convenient. Racism and anti-Muslim sentiments are not exclusive to a particular political spectrum.

All I will say is, if Charlie Hebdo are not racist or Islamophobic in their caricatures of minorities such as Muslims and black people then why are many of them angry with the paper. If it is hard to tell whether someone is laughing at you or with you then it's safe to bet you are the butt of the joke.

There are many other pictures I had seen that are questionable (to say the least) but I won't take up your time by asking you to explain them all. Plus I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post them as some are pornographic. I appreciate your explanation though.

Most of those who are angry with the paper are foreigners who don't understand the background, or people who never read it.

I watched French Television (France 3) tonight. There has been an incredible outpour of solidarity for Charlie Hebdo, in (almost) the entire French society. Be sure to buy the next number (if you manage to find a copy)

As far as I can tell, the terrorists have shot themselves squarely in the foot.

As I said earlier, the magazine was slowly dying, but the terrorists have given it a second life. 1 million copies of the next issue will be printed.

How is any of this racist?

For something that is unrelated to race, it's funny that Muslims are so frequently portrayed as brown people. Why is the concept so frequently associated with a certain population if the two were not seen as being connected?

Exactly. Which is exactly what the vast, vast majority of muslims did (not do).

They're mock just about everyone yet look which group decides to shoot the place up, it's of course 'the religion of peace'
