But none of them are underage in Europe!

This is getting to be like when the communists edited political traitors out of official photographs, even though everyone had already seen the originals, like in Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.

Oh my god. Imagine if it had taken cops any longer to believe him! All the hostages might have ended up frozen!

Wait wait wait. I have a pun. Someone take me out of the greys for this one:

Right? Social justice aside, transphobia is not a good look. Bigotry is kind of passe, non?

Also, you don't know what you're talking about. Plenty of Arabs (Muslim or otherwise) are posting photos of themselves on Twitter with signs denouncing the attacks but without posting pictures of the covers, which proves that you can take a stand against terrorism without replicating racist images.

Those are people who are using the terrorist attacks to justify their racist agendas. In other words, there are not two sides as you are desperate to believe.

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.
