If anybody sees them on sale in Cyprus, please let me know and I will go and buy ten (even though I find their humour a bit puerile, simply in support of the right to speak out against religion).

But why did they draw a tearful Muhammad? :?

Is it because Muhammad is saddened by the 12 deaths of his tormentors, or due to the prolonged and vile abuse by his tormentors?

It goes to show how CHEAP they are!

All of a sudden they want to take advantage of someone’s prophet they have been ridiculing and have zero respect for, to use in their defense to defend the indefensible!!!

Typical two-faced Western evil knows no bounds! :lol:

What does Nasrallah’s attempts to appease the West in his desperate times have to do with the reality about Charlie & Co? :)

Nasrallah went on to say that “Takfiris are the biggest threat to Islam, as a religion [and] as a message.”


“Differences of opinion and thought cannot justify murder," the group (Hamas) said in a statement,


"The behavior of the takfiri groups that claim to follow Islam have distorted Islam, the Koran and the Muslim nation more than Islam’s enemies ... who insulted the prophet in films... or drew cartoons of the prophet," the Hezbollah leader said in a televised speech to mark the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed, according to Lebanon’s Daily Star.


...from the article.

Indeed Mohammed cries GR, think about it.

...thinking about it, to stop the publication of a magazine like Charlie Hebdo is not hard (but they all take time, and effort). Choosing murder certainly shows that their motive in doing this was the attention they could get in as it is called, the Western Media; that seems like ultimate commercialism to me, the power of advertising, so to speak for free.
