This Wednesday's Racist, Colonialist Charlie Hebdo Cover
Three million copies will be printed; the paper usually prints 50,000.
I don't really get the intent of the cover, but then, I never understand any of their cartoons, really. As I don't understand them, I don't pretend to be able to divine their intent and judge their politics. This separates me from the left, who also doesn't understand the house style of Charlie Hebdo humor, but which wants to portray itself as experts on all things, and have, therefore, been claiming to "really get" Charlie Hebdo since they heard of it last Wednesday. And they've decided, along with the Islamists, that Charlie Hebdo kind of deserved it.For a political position which claims to place such a strong emphasis on empathy, it has been sorely lacking on the far-Left in recent days. That all of the journalists were murdered over a difference of opinion is apparently irrelevant; instead, I have seen a far greater effort on the demonstration on far-Left credentials through the condemnation of Charlie Hebdo and freedom of speech than on solidarity with democrats and anti-Islamists. More importantly, in criticising the cartoons in response to an outpouring of sympathy for Charlie Hebdo, it is implied that their deaths are less important than if those cartoons had never been drawn. "Those criticising Charlie Hebdo's cartoons are implying that the victims are unworthy of sympathy whilst denying they’re doing such a thing." https://twitter.com/JoeMiles94/status/553218280241242112 This is the heart of the opposition towards people celebrating free speech in defiance of Islamist violence – that ultimately, people who disagree with the far-Left are worth less as people, and the legitimacy of what they have to say is devalued as a result. This perspective is far more dangerous to freedom of speech than violent lunatics, as rather than arguing the problem with freedom of speech is a cartoon mocking Islamist demagoguery, freedom of speech is instead criticised as a flawed value. It is what prompts the usage of 'Freeze Peaches' [making fun of the concept of free speech by calling it by a babytalk name -- ace ] or "Free Speech" in quotation marks. This, not gun-toting maniacs, is the real threat to freedom of speech over the coming weeks and months – that Charlie Hebdo’s insistence on satirising Islamism makes them too irreverent for their principles to be defended. They and their values must be.Below then the new cover of Charlie Hebdo. I don't get it. Mohammad is saying "All is forgiven." I don't... I don't understand what they're trying to say. I think sometimes this paper gets so lost in ironizing an ironic take originally made ironically that their actual message disappears somewhere up in the seventh dimension of their own assholes (which then allows ignorant American left-wingers to claim this communist- oriented left-wing magazine is Racist and ergo RightWing). If anyone can explain this to me, let me know.

One of the staff a CH said this weekend that he "vomits on" those who expressed support, especially ALL the people on the Right.
So that's their first reaction. A fuck you instead of a thank you. Well, fuck you, too, Charlie Hedbo.

My take on the cover is that they are portraying Muhammad (you know, the Prophet) as regretful of what happened and, of course, holding up the hashtag sign.
Naturally, this will piss off the Muslim extremists...or in other words, the Muslims.

Liberal policies always lead to disaster and death. History has proven it, yet when the deaths arrive, the leftists have a march/rally in the town square, while never adjusting the policies that lead to the deaths in the first place.
Therefore, it will keep happening over and over.

That's my guess.
Because, you know...they already came out and said "We vomit at you, saying 'You are Charlie'"...to those people who are also making excuses for the Islamists.
So, they're showing Mohamhead himself, holding up an "I am Charlie"sign, as though that erases all the murder that he has caused.

The latter started in 730 or so and it doesn't seem that the early Islamic empire was particularly opposed to iconography until around that time.
Early Islam was not as clearly a separate religion from Christianity as it is now...

It shows Mohammed crying and holding up a "I am Charlie" sign, so: Mohammed does not approve of the violence and stands with the other people holding up "I am Charlie" signs, i.e. people opposed to the violence.
The "all is forgiven" makes the most sense if you read it as Mohammed saying he forgives Charlie for making fun of him. That would reinforce the above message.
If Charlie wanted to go the "F*** YOU" route, they could have drawn a cartoon of Mohammed giving a thumbs-up to guys shooting up a building labeled "Charlie Hebdo" with a sarcastic caption saying "THE RELIGION OF PEACE" or some such. And I really wouldn't have blamed them very much.
P.S. Once the issue actually comes out, perhaps there will be an editorial or something that spells it out and we won't have to speculate.
Posted by: who is that? at January 12, 2015 05:29 PM (O7l6D)
If Charlie Hebdo really wanted to be edgy and get some attention, the cover of this issue would have shown Obama in a racially stereotypical fashion having unconsented carnal knowledge of Marianne.

You guys are way off base.
The cartoon is about how EVERYONE who "je suises" with Charlie are as insincere as if the supreme muslim had said it.
They're very bitter at Charlie Hedbo. And rotten. Bitter and rotten people who draw cartoons.

Yea, I'm not reading anything nice into this at all. I don't pretend to understand it, but I DO know whatever they mean is NOT intended to give anyone the warm fuzzies.
I personally think they're more upset that the massacre gives credence and support to the positions of those they deem "far right" than they are about the actual loss of their co-workers.

The MSM in general was not all Je Suis Charlie when they were one of the few publications willing to reprint the Danish Mohammed cartoons.

Oh no, that one is entirely clear. They made it up to justify conquering it.
The Caliphate only started claiming that Jerusalem was the "farthest mosque" mentioned in the Koran in 715 - a century after the formation of Islam and decades after they conquered it.

________________________
The Egyptian president, al-Sisi, made a speech the other day in which he called for a reformation of Islam. He deserves props for this, because it was a dangerous thing for him to do. He asked the imams to stop preaching their hatred, and said it was time that Muslims around the world took a long hard look at what their religion has become.
Muslims believe the Qu'ran is perfect, but the fact is that it was written by many different people, relying on oral accounts from people far removed from the original source. Also, the hadiths, or interpretations of the Qu'ran, were written by religious scholars, many of whom had their own biases and agendas. It's pretty obvious that a lot of this stuff has become corrupted over the centuries.
The Egyptian president has at least had the stones to say that Muslims need to take a look at this situation and discuss among themselves how they came to this place where the rest of the world fears and reviles them. It has long needed to be said, and this guy finally stepped up and said it. We'll find out if his words have any impact, or if he just ends up dead like so many others who have dared to criticize Islam.

It is interesting that Islam was born via Holy War...it took the Christians about 400 years to adopt the notion of Jihad as a Crusade, and even then Crusades were mostly defensive in nature, at least until the Germanic crusades against the Wends.
Spain, Italy, Tunis, Egypt, Israel, Asia Minor, and Syria had all been core Christian regions until Islam conquered them.

It was...but it wasn't the intent.
The Venetians built an expensive fleet for the 4th crusade to ferry a large number of crusaders.
The estimate on numbers was off and the ones who showed up couldn't pay.
So the Venetians offered them a deal - work for us and we'll let you use our fleet...
First the Venetians used them to attack a city called Zara...and the pope excommunicated everyone.
Then one of the crusaders met with a Byzantine claimant to the throne who promised the crusaders and Venetians a fortune and help in the Crusades...if they put him on the throne.
They went to Constantinople and put him on the throne after looting the place...where he couldn't deliver on this promises and the Empire descended into chaos...
So they hadn't intended to attack fellow Christians so it was more a comedy of errors...and greed...then really a change in how Crusades were defined...

Big Mo is saying all is forgiven for the Charlie folks for poking fun at him - that the violence Islamists are implementing in his name is not what he would want. "
That was my take too. And if that's the correct take, it's bullshit.
I've been looking at CH cartoons for the past 2 days now. Their stock-in-trade seems to be juvenile scatological and sexual blasphemy and much more of it was directed at Christianity than Islam. I've seen badly drawn cartoons of the Christ child coming out of Mary's vagina and a nun using a crucifix as a sex toy. Now, unlike Bill Donahoe, I think they have the right to publish those things and to do so without being murdered or imprisoned or shut down.
But I'm not going to pretend that crappy Charlie Hebdo cartoons are the equivalent of Moliere or Swift. Their idea of "satire" appears to be drawing an obscene picture of whoever they don't like - which is a 6th grader's idea of satire.
The only thing I can say in their favor is that they occasionally targeted the Muslims and didn't back down even after being threatened.

They aren't about humor. They are about setting themselves up as the cool kids who can get away with insulting and hurting as many people as possible with their cartoons, in the guise of "speaking truth to power", in this case by their depicting the Persons of the Holy Trinity sodomizing each other, because, I guess, Christianity hasn't yet "got on all fours" with the progressive homosexual agenda.
The Charlie Hebdo folks took steps to protect themselves after they insulted Prophet SayShit, Mohammed, but didn't think they were in any real danger because nobody else whose been insulted by them has ever tried to hurt them. And, of course, because it is INSANE to hurt someone "back" just because of a drawing that makes you mad.
Not folks to be emulated. Not folks doing anything even remotely "noble" in any way. And not folks who deserved their fates.
Again, they are to be pitied for the world-view that allows them to think that what they do is "cool" or somehow noble, mourned for their untimely passings, and their souls and their families prayed for.

----------------------
The Fourth Crusade got repurposed. The organizers ordered a large quantity of ships from Venice to transport all of the Crusaders that they expected to come. But when the time came, the organizers only had about half the funds that they needed. So in order to keep the Venetian economy from collapsing (on account of a rather large number of ships that had been built on credit), some of the leaders of Venice effectively took control of the Crusade and used it to help with some problem areas in the region. One of those problem areas happened to be the city of Byzantium, which was a regional rival.

Ahead of state funeral for four Jews killed in Hyper Cacher, stores owner says he will sell business and make aliyah to Israel.
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4614433,00.html
Walid said he believed some ten thousands French Jews will make aliyah this year. When there are attacks, it is best for Jews to be in the State of Israel there is no place like Israel.

It's basically giving the finger to Islam. It's so contrary to Islam in every way. From the tears to feeling remorse for infidels to making a cartoon of Mohammad. It's taunting Islam in the way that Leftists are known to taunt people. However, this is unknown in America where the Left defends Islam. But from what I hear, they weren't exactly allied with the Left to begin with. So that would make sense I guess.

Yeah, basically. And they tried to get the National Front banned so apparently their tolerance for free speech went only so far.
If a National Front publication had published insulting images of Mohammad and been attacked as a result, do you think that huge march would have taken place yesterday, with world leaders attending? I suspect it would have been chalked up to "right wing hate mongers got what's coming to them."

Damn right. And this is why Je ne suis pas Charlie.
If I'm going to attack Islam, I'm going to be smart about it. I'm not going to blaspheme for the sake of getting a rise out of people. I'm not going to insult good Muslims. I'm not going to give radical Muslims the opportunity to say to good or on-the-fence Muslims: "see what the depraved West is all about!"
I have Muslim friends. While debate with them over religion and politics is something I might want to engage in, I'd never want to insult their most revered figure.
And while I'll defend the right of Charlie Habdo to print this crap, I won't identify with it. I especially won't identify with people who make a mockery of my God. Yeah, they have the right to mock any religion without fear. I support that right 100%. But they are - or were - awful people, and I won't be identified with them, any more than my belief in the right to a fair trial means that I identify with accused murderers.

"all is forgiven"
Except obviously it's not. I had hoped that Charlie's historic post-massacre cover would be, as per duty, an insult to the Prophet. My hopes are not disappointed. There are testicles on the Prophet's forehead. And he, ambivalently, is the one saying all is forgiven, while shedding a tear.
Testicles on the forehead is the main thing.

I also took it as a FU to Islam. Depicting the not so prophety Mohammed is what got their people killed. Drawing Mohammed again seems like an odd way to offer an olive branch, especially given the nature of the publication.

29 After being equally perplexed, I decided the intent had to be that Islamists were, somehow, so shamed by the outpouring of condemnation of Islam that they were forced to distance themselves from the murderers.
This thought is akin to a sermon given by our assistant rector at the Episcopal church that we formerly attended, but left ten years ago. Her simpleminded take was that Muslims around the world would, upon reflection, see the horror of the 9-11 attacks and vow, "Never again!"
Between that and 3/4 of my fellow vestry members getting a pearl-clutching attack of the vapors when I had the audacity to bring up St. Augustine's views on just wars for my topic during our opening lesson, it made saying "And I am outta here!" real easy when that time came.

I've known Ralph for a long time...back when he was one of my students in the Army. He is direct and no nonsense. Abrupt even. But he is also one of the smartest people I've ever met. And in this he is correct. Its time to go back to war fighting the way it needs to be done. Brutal, ugly and decisive. There is no place for the silver medal on this, or any, battlefield.

The Left:
"Well if we can't make a law abridging freedom of speech that we don't like, it's a good thing the Mohamedans are stepping in with the murderer's veto. We're cool with that."
This argument seems to work for them.
Sadly, they also seem to think the Mohamedans will agree with them about what speech is objectionable.

That's not really Mohammed on the cover, it's Mohammed's mother-- she had a sizeable mustache -- and she is reprimanding her wayward male acolytes.

I seem to be having a flashback to high school.
I think I might be one of Charlie's new found friends.
1. I don't know if the editors of Charlie "had the right" to publish what they published, nor do I particularly care, but I wasn't going to, and still will not, stop them.
Voltaire was an asshole and a wuss; I see no need to follow Voltaire's pontifications or to defend Charlie. If faces with an immediate threat, I'll respond, or if called upon as a juror, I'll follow the law and be fair. See #2 ...
2. Rightly or wrongly, retribution was coming, and the editors of Charlie "should have known".
Why should I take the beating that the editors of Charlie begged for? Oh, wait ... Voltaire said. Voltaire was an asshole. Oh, wait ... the editors were murdered.
Again, "they should have known", and while there is law and stuff, at some point the editors should have realized that "The Law" had no affirmative protection mechanism, and anyway, the 'tards they poked did not and do not care.
Murder is wrong, and Charlie's scribblings do not rise, even remotely , to earning death (in Western culture, my culture) ... and this has been discussed sufficiently ... but the 'tards Charlie poked did not, and do not, see their actions as murder, and again, the editors of Charlie "should have known".
3. Sharkman at 263 sums things up nicely; "They aren't about humor. They are about setting themselves up as the cool kids who can get away with ..." any kind of shit they want, and forever, without retribution ... only they were wrong; the 'tards they poked responded with retributive wrath formidabe. The editors of Charlie should have known.
Unfortunately, unlike high school, I'm forced to choose sides; the side of the ungrateful, assholic, professional snots, who should have known that, like slapping a porcupine or taunting an animal at the zoo ... , or side of the animals.
So, I choose the side of Charlie.

Tim Wilson, a spokesman for D.C. Fire and EMS, said one person has been transported to an area hospital with a critical injury but he did not know the cause or severity of the injury. Another five people were transported with minor injuries.
A Metrobus at 7th and D streets SW held people from the tunnel and the train station. About 20 appeared to be on board, some being treated by firefighters with oxygen."

IIRC, a lot of Anonymous members that participated in the attacks on Israel were in fact Palestinian. Of course, the way we know this is because the IDF knew who they were, I believe, so the Palestinian contingent may have lessened considerably afterwards.
Yeah, I just laughed when they started talking about killing jihadis - taking down websites is one thing (and while a nuisance they haven't actually accomplished much by doing so that I can remember), picking up a gun and heading to Syria or the Islamic-controlled areas of Europe is a bit different.

Made a lot more sense back then. Turkey was secular, and that was enforced by the military. And Islam wasn't the problem that it is now. What *was* a problem was the Soviet Union. And the Russians would *really* like to get their hands on both sides of the Bosporous to remove foreign control over their access to the Black Sea. Putting Turkey under treaty protection was a no brainer at the time.

If they think it does not take courage to tell a joke, they are doing it wrong.
Think about it -- from the class clown, to the standup comic, it takes a lot of balls to try to make people laugh.
Think of the balls it took for ace to admit he blows his trainer.
And political humor all the way back to the court jesters takes a lot of courage.
Sure, it takes no courage for that affirmation humor that draws those peals of claphter. but then, who said that was comedy?

The massive numbers indicate just how many people recognize that there is a problem.
The solution (killing the leaders, killing the financiers, stopping immigration, deportation, seizure of property, destruction of radical mosques, etc)just hasn't sunk in yet.
The Frogs still think this is like their massive student marches and strikes in the 60-70s.
They march and they get their way....well...no.
They literally have several miniature nations under foreign sovereign authority within their borders and just outside of Paris. These sovereign nations reject France, French law, French culture, French authority.
The war is being fought and they are losing territory.
They just haven't wrapped their minds around it yet.
But they know something is wrong and it has to do with muslims.
That's quite a bit farther than our own leftards are willing to go.

Muslims object to portrayals of al-Masih too. They do mock the crucifix, because they think it was Judas or Simon of Cyrene up there; but they never mock al-Masih.
They protested "Last Temptation of Christ" arm in arm with Bill Donohue.

They've also fought their asses off in the years since WWII. Granted many of these campaigns were ultimately defeats but that was more due to political and strategic blunders than a lack of fight. In modern times individual French soldiers and units are known for fighting bravely and well.

Good points. Remember, it takes a while for a leftist to connect the dots. And many never do.
I'll bet many of the people in that crowd thought that now the terrorists see how strongly we feel about this, they'll leave us alone. Of course, the terrorists will not. And after a while, it will dawn on those people that the terrorists really don't give a good gdamn how they feel about it or how much they march around Paris.

I can understand what they're getting at. Sort of like how I feel about Republicans about now.
I'm just surprised they didn't include the 3 million people who flooded Paris Sunday. Their "je suis Charlie" falls a little flat also in light of past performance. But I guess they're giving them the benefit of the doubt for now but in about a week or so when it's back to business as usual they might have a few words to say about the French people's flightiness. And lack of commitment to the hard work impelled by hard choices arising from bad situations.

That ran in my mother's side of the family & Thank God I didn't get that.
Often I'll wake up with my eyes crying. Older brother has dry eyes too & said crying like that is from dry eyes.

Ah, I love that book. And Puddleglum's always been a favorite character of mine, especially when he's drunk (or "pretending" to be as he claimed, lol). I also love Glimfeather and quote him a lot "Tu-whoo! Tu-whoo! I saw you two, you flew!"

I like this interpretation, hope it's what they're saying.

Hmmm, Ergan Caner, a former Mulsim turned Christian, says that Muslims are terrified of allah because the Koran says that allah is as close as the "jugular" -- meaning that at any moment allah may condemn one to Hell. He said that Muslims are never assured of their getting into heaven because allah is very arbitrary. He also said that's why when Muslims hear the true story of Jesus it is a novelty that one can be assured of salvation.

So yea, maybe they're being sarcastic...oh, sure, you hold up a sign, and voila, everything is fine and dandy.

Caner's right.
Terror is at the heart of being Muslim; not even "terror" in the "blowing sh!t up" sense, just existential horror. For instance: there's the concept of "the torment in the grave", where the Muslim believes he will actually *feel* the worms eating his dead flesh after burial. And then there's sura 19 which teaches that everyone, even Muslims, will be tossed into Hell. The hope is that God will pull the Muslims *out* of Hell, but still - there he is, hearing the screams and the flames.
Sam Shamoun has done great work on answering-islam explaining all this.

I'm actually impressed that PC France is honoring them in this way. I know iowahawk made fun of the vigils, but the French could have easily condemned CH and cowered in their homes. Remember the terrorists were still at large when those initial rallies were held. I thought it very brave.
Oh, and CH shouldn't condemn their new friends too much, because NO ONE said "Je Suis Lars" when the film-maker was stabbed to death. NO ONE said "Je Suis Rigby" when the British soldier was beheaded in broad daylight. I'm just glad that SOMETHING has finally woken people up. Now maybe Hollande will get his ass kicked out of offce.

Because the residents of those "no-go" zones reliably vote for one of the political parties and that political party protects them from that sort of unpleasantness. That is the same reason that violent gangs in Chicago are essentially immune from police interference.

I look at their other stuff, and it's pretty dang harsh. Moreover, a bunch of their buddies have been killed. Hence, I don't think it's likely that this is meant to be a kumbaya cartoon.
The figure is saying "I am Charlie," but (IMO) it is the magazine that's saying, "All is forgiven."
And I think it's a sarcastic message. In other words, the simplistic sign-holding is insufficient against the magnitude of the deeds committed and thus insufficient to elicit forgiveness. As Rhett said of Scarlett, only a child thinks saying "I'm sorry" fixes everything.

Previously, one of their covers depicted jihadists approaching Mohammed in the afterlife, and he's got a thought bubble above him with something to the effect of "I'm surrounded by idiots". I believe this is a take off of that - that the idiots have 'done it' once again, and that even Mohammed himself is in solidarity with the "Je Suis Charlie" movement because the jihadists are so far afield in how the religion should be practiced. Leftist tripe, yes, but also will anger Islamists on many levels a) depiction of Mohammed b) showing solidarity with the "infidels" c) forgiveness? We have no need for your weak forgiveness.

They're portraying mohammad in a way he would simply never be. Islamists especially are offended by weakness. They are not only showing him, they are showing him to be weak. It is the ultimate insult.

If anyone can explain this to me, let me know.
Cereally? It is a cartoon of Mohammed, shedding tears and claiming "I am Charlie".
If that doesn't get the wack job Islamonazis and the Progressives wound up, I don't know what will. Maybe a cartoon of ol' Mo shagging a camel?
