Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical magazine company, was attacked by terrorists. The magazine is a horrible magazine that pokes fun of many religions, and shouldn't be in print. Many of the cartoonists were a part of a different magazine company in the 60's, but that was shut down after printing a mock death notice for General Charles de Gaulle, only to reappear months later under the name Charlie Hebdo. They criticized Muhammad and Muslims believe that they are blasphemes images. They were sued in 2007 by two French Muslim associations. The cases were dismissed because they did not "incite religious hatred." This is infuriating! They should have won the case the things they publish are horrible and disgusting. In 2012, France was forced to close its embassies and schools in 20 countries after the magazine published cartoons of Muhammad. The magazine's editor is on an al Qaeda hit list.
This wasn't a random shooting. There was a clear motive. You publish cartoons that are blasphemous in the eyes of Muslims and expect no repercussions! Sadly, people were killed, and the gunmen are still on the run. The gunmen don' have done what they had done; it wasn't the right approach. And when the gunmen get caught they will be punished. If the government would have shut the magazine down this wouldn't have happened. Just because you have the freedom of speech doesn't mean you should be publishing bologna about other religions.

Whats France laws constitutionally on what can and cant be printed
ReplyDeleteDid they expect nothing to happen after they printed that?
ReplyDeleteI think it's terrible about what happened and I totally agree with you about how they should've expected repercussions. Do you feel that the government could have shut the magazine down with the law stating they have freedom of speech?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about the hacker group Anonymous now seeing to get rid of the terrorists and ISIS groups? Did you see the recent video?
