Sickening , sad , perverted perhaps mad magazine should be next or SNL or any who dare satirize any topic be it Islam or Kanye west, maybe all opinions ( right or wrong) should be squelched...wait that exactly what these motherfuckers want isn't it? I guess for some they've already won, sit down shut up and do as your told will be the mantra of the sheepeople.


I don't see how satirizing a group already demonized by the establishment is an example of freethinking, nor do I see how joining in with the establishment in mouthing the "correct" response to tragic events is anything other than herd behavior.

People who prize critical thought should be aghast at the way the Western media and our western governments attempt to squash any viewpoint that goes against the metanarrative. People who prize critical thought should deliberately try to find viewpoints that challenge the status quo.

Here are three more:

In this case the "establishment" is correct in demonizing these scum fucking murderous sub-people. unless that is if you personaly condon beheadings,rape of prepubescent girls the sale of women. all of which are practices of extremist Islam. Just who has the "herd" mentality here? the followers of extremist Islam or those who object to there acts of terror?



The Charlie Hebdo cartoons were not an attack on "extremist Islam" but an attack on "Islam" itself, via nude caricatures of Mohammed and racist depictions of Muslims. Considering that France and most of Europe have laws against "hate speech", I don't see why those sorts of images should be allowed to have been printed. Perhaps if France did not have laws against hate speech, and fully practiced "freedom of the press" than there would have been a precedent to explain the Charlie Hebdo cartoons. But as it is, I don't see what was praiseworthy about denigrating an entire group, especially when that group was already ostracized from French society, and when there are laws prohibiting racist depictions of other groups.

Furthermore, the journalists in the articles I linked to all go to some length explaining how France, Britain, and the US have been instrumental in funding and promoting the spread of Wahhabi and Takfir Islam. The establishment is certainly not opposed to these groups, only opposed to these groups carrying out their actions in "civilized" soil.

This can be seen via the West's cheerleading of reactionary Muslim insurgents in the Middle East. The Muslim nations targeted for destruction by the West, while certainly far from perfect, tend to be much more secular and socially progressive than the ones in the West's pocket. Socialist Afghanistan, Libya and Syria were far more progressive in terms of the treatment of its women than Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, etc.

Rather than praising cartoons that attack Islam, and thus contribute to the further denigration of an already marginalized group, a better strategy would be to criticize our Western "leaders" who have destroyed the most advanced nations in the Middle East, and,through their recklessness, endangered our lives in the process.
