French Newspaper Publishes Cartoons Mocking Muhammad - NYTimes.com

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/20/world/...;ref=world Wrote:Calling itself a defender of free speech and a denouncer of religious backwardness, a French satirical newspaper on Wednesday published several crude caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, images viewed as a provocation by many Muslims and condemned by the French government as irresponsible at a time of violence and unrest across the Islamic world.

the French government had urged the weekly newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, to reconsider printing the illustrations, some of which depict Muhammad naked and in pornographic poses.

The newspaper refused; after Charlie Hebdo arrived at newsstands on Wednesday, the government announced that French embassies, consulates, cultural centers and schools in about 20 countries would be closed Friday as a precautionary measure. Security will be raised at embassies and consulates, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said, though no specific threats against French targets have been identified.

That's kind of what I meant by "those that aren't disturbed by group cartoon sex should click the above link", but yes, NSFW

Brave, but suicidal.

But sooner or later Muslims have to learn they're just like everyone else and knock off the threats to kill the world every time they feel offended. It's their own extreme actions that call for some sort of blowback on them and maybe this is just the beginning.

So, blowback is them rioting and killing a bunch of innocents (largely muslims first), then suffering the consequences of vicious cartoon porn of the prophet? That'll teach em...

I have had it with the Islamic World. Vast majority of them are ignorant, illiterate savages that have no hesitation to kill an "Infidel" in the name of Allah.

F them all.

Btw... I'm still waiting to hear.. how many French embassies were bum-rushed because of these cartoons? (I know there was one store in Paris that was ransacked, but that was it).

So anyone want to try to convince me that the previous attackss were about a stupid movie?

I'm thinking exactly the same thing. But, I'll give them a pass until after their sabbath or holy day, to see if the clerics get them riled up.
