lol. You're here on this thread agreeing with people who are using the terrorist attack to justify their anti-immigrant, racist, nationalist agendas. There are people in France who are the same and are out there attacking mosques in the name of Hebdo. Think about that for a second.

I'm not American or a native speaker of English.

I mean, you could look up the history of racist and anti-semetic cartoons? You are on the internet after all. All the information is a google search away. But no. You refuse. Just because you remain willfully ignorant of history doesn't mean history goes away, though.

If you had an ounce of intelligence in you, you'd recognise that there is a political spectrum out there, not just two sides. But again, your black and white thinking proves my point about Hebdo's target audience: stupid people who want to feel smart.

When you say "inexistant", do you mean "nonexistent"? I think you are proving my point about how that kind of satire appeals to stupid people because it makes them feel smart but isn't actually very intelligent.

Sometimes people think they are satirising something, but they end up being racist in the process. Actually, it can happen quite a bit. An intelligent, well-informed person can satirise racism without replicating racism, but for some reason, many comedians struggle to pull it off. That black man banana cover was…

I'm definitely with you on the "fuck you" to terrorists. I think the solution is to go out and march and show solidarity, but leave the magazine covers at home if you disagree with the images.

Wow, you're wanking about your knowledge of Islam, but you've completely failed to convince me that you know a thing about it yourself. (Not that I particularly care since religion bores me.) You're also wanking about free speech but then telling me to shut up. Why the hypocrisy, dudebro?

OK, well I'm not an American liberal blogger and furthermore I have no problem with being tasteless, offensive or anti-religious. All of those things are great. But just because Hebdo went after everyone doesn't mean it was never racist. South Park also went after everyone and often ended up being racist. That Hebdo…

Just to clarify, I don't think the cartoon is racist against Islam. (I don't think it's even possible to be racist against Islam since it's a religion not race, etc). Rather, I think it's racist against Arabs. Everyone can continue mocking Islam or any other religion as far as I'm concerned.

Of course I understand freedom of speech. I just used my freedom speech to point out that a cartoon is racist. Do you not understand that just because people have freedom of speech that every single thing they use it for is not necessarily purely good and unproblematic? But that's why freedom of speech is so awesome:…

It's the style of the cartoon. It's like this:

I agree that depicting Muhammed (Mohammed, Mo, whatever) is not racist. Depict him all you want. I hate religion, so I don't give a shit if you offend people's religious feelings. In fact, I encourage it.

Oh yeah? Is this one of those "If you see something as racist, you must be racist yourself" arguments? Because boy do I have the blog for you: http://yoisthisracist.com/post/107545384…

Mohammed is a fictional character, so how can his features be exaggerated? The problem with cartoons like that one is that they rely on negative stereotypes to convey race, much like the minstrel cartoons during the colonial age where black people were depicted with a uniform shade of blacked up skin, big lips,…

It can be a political ideology or a religion depending on the context. There's no reason it can't be both.

Secularism is the best.

Ugh, it doesn't require any acrobatics to recognise that the cartoons are racist while also being upset over the attacks. It's perfectly rational to be upset over racism and terrorism at the same time since they're both negative things.

Islam is a religion, not a race. You are correct. But what is the cartoon you posted mocking? On the one hand, it mocks Islam, which in my opinion is fair game because religion is a load of bullshit. But it also mocks Arab people because it depicts Mo in a stereotypical way, with the huge nose that recalls…

Just remember that it's up to you. If you don't feel like arguing with a troll, just peace out. You don't owe any of these guys your time. And all of us at some point accidentally mistake a troll for someone arguing in good faith and then get sucked down the rabbit hole. It's an internet pitfall, sadly.
