Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo shooting. What is your opinion on the freedom of satire in general and the satire of religion in particular?

This is a sensitive topic for some people, so please do your best to have civil discussions. Let's do better than the average social media.
You're viewing a single thread.
It was depressing that every newspaper in the developed world didn't print the cartoon :(
They sold millions of them here in France though but yeah you're right. Especially the Danes who backed down then and again.
In respect to their Muslim readers. Whatever you think, for Muslims, including me, itās profane to picture Mohammad, as much itās profane to picture Jesus fucking Peter in the ass.
Even if thereās no reasoning behind it, respecting 1.8 billion peopleās sensibilities should be the niceness Iād like to see in the world.
The price of living in a free society is being ready to accept other people's speech. In the West we had an Enlightenment, so blasphemy is not against the law. Christians would indeed find a picture of "Jesus fucking Peter in the ass" offensive, but they will sigh and move on. Same for all the other world religions.
Only your religion treats offense as a justification for extreme violence. You need to think carefully about that fact.
Thank you very much for informing me about my religion and everyone elseās high and developed society.
But please take a moment to check what you embraced as ātheā civilized fellows done in Gaza, breaking 4 years old kids ribs with their knees. You need to think careful about that fact.
The question was not about Gaza.
I'm offended, very offended actually, when Muslims (and not only) suggest that some brutally murdered cartoonists had it coming because of their "disrespect". At least as offended as you could possibly be offended by some picture. Your religion needs reform. It needs to learn tolerance.
Oh, so when we come into some other religionās āhigher stanceā is just being an illusion, a propaganda to see ācolonizers superior cultureā is why they have free pass on crimes towards the oppressed, suddenly it wasnāt about that, huh. Like, they would never ever do such things. Except they do massacres, daily.
Iād like to see how ādevelopedā MAGAs or AFD people to react to Jesus and Peter published on every ādevelopedā newspaperās front page, as the commenter Iāve replied suggested. Run over the newspapers stands with a truck? Then step down and shoot around? Maybe they aim to kids. Thatāll showāem.
Extremism is everywhere. No belief, religion or politic stance, is exempt from it. I didnāt said a thing about Hebdo, just surprised to see how people in 2025 taking worse stances than George Bush in 2004 when itās about Islam.
Man you are a lunatic
Should homosexuality be banned, to respect 1.8 billion people's sensibilities?
Itās always someone comes to build a strawman whenever one mentions Muslims could have some sensibilities.
Funny, you just did the same thing with your argument about Gaza. So when somebody else uses the same approach, it's a strawman?
Ah yes. A strawman. š¤
[ā¦], as much itās profane to picture Jesus fucking Peter in the ass.
Christians were upset and made a lot of noise about it, but didn't kill or even beat up anyone:
No.
