What Does It Mean?

What does it mean.

What could Charlie Hebdo new cover art, possibly mean?

How could this obvious caricature of an islamist malefactor possibly be absolved of these terrible murders?

Oh.
Because we have already established that actual real world evil can be addressed and disposed of with mopey faces and cardboard twitter signs.

Yes, America. This is Europe mocking your vapid, insincere leaders. And we deserve it.

It is also a big F*** YOU to the entire 'je suis charlie' movement, to the extent that it is a transient fad to most people.

All you have to do now to be one of the cool kids who REALLY CARES about a catastrophe is to post a picture of yourself making a super-sad face and holding a sign that says, 'bring back our girls,' or 'je suis charlie.' And hold the pose for one day.

The bloody, tattered wreck that remains of Charlie Hebdo still has the strength to call out the fashionable on their insincerity. This is not pseudo-satire, as some idiot wannabe snobs would claim. This is the real deal. They are straight-out calling an asshole, an asshole.

30 I think the cover was purposefully as innocuous and inoffensive as possible. It portrays Muhammad in a positive light, like he's some peace-loving hippie.

Therefore the only possible reason to *not* publish this cover is to observe Islamic blasphemy laws and Sharia prohibitions on images of Muhammad.

Charlie cleverly forced every Western publication to make a choice on whether to publish news -- or cave to Islamic blasphemy laws.

Smart move.

Krautish tabloid Bild says that the cartoon means Charlie Hebdo forgives Mohammed.

I can read a good crypto-religious punk into that. It's Christianity that's based on forgiveness. So, we Christians demonstrate our superiority by forgiving you, Mohammed, for your murderous followers.

The cover was published last night by the French newspaper Liberation, which has provided a home for the surviving staff under heavy guard. Within minutes it was circulating around the world on social media and blogs, although for the most part, it was not published by British media.

The Guardian was among those to carry the front page on its website, while the Telegraph.co.uk cropped part of the design to remove the depiction of Islam's prophet. Others including Sky News chose not to repeat the image.

106 Well, I'm impressed, because I was confused by this cartoon. Now it kind of reminds me of the final Seinfeld episode.

The thing is seriously genius! At the same time it's making fun of all the phoney support, it's done in a way where the people that are being made fun of don't even realize that that's what they're doing!

I feel a little bad about the people who really just want to try to show sympathy for these guys though. some may be fair-weather friends, but at least they're not saying "Screw you guys - you asked for it" the way some people have.

Frankly I have no idea who they make fun of anymore, because they stopped being funny a few years ago. Which is probably in part because the network is run by a bunch of leftists. So yeah, I suppose they might have caved. Or they simply stopped putting any real time or effort into making shows, and continue to cash network checks.

Personally, I don't care who they make fun of, as long as the fun contains some funny.

The cover shows a weeping Muhammad, holding a sign saying "I am
Charlie" with the words "All is forgiven" above him. Zineb El Rhazoui, a
journalist with the newspaper, described the cover as meaning that the
journalists were forgiving the extremists for the killings.
Renald
Luzier, the cartoonist who drew the cover image and who is known by his
pen name "Luz," said it represents "just a little guy who's crying."
Then he added, unapologetically, "Yes, it is Muhammad."

It's basically meaningless. No real thought put into it. Just a drawing that really makes no sense. The journalists are forgiving the terrorists but the journalists are represented by Mohammed? Makes no sense. They are grief stricken so I understand why it doesn't make sense.

There are very good reasons for cultures to exist. Peaceful, like-minded people have a right to live among each other without the threat of violent aggression. When an outside group threatens that peace, they have the right to remove the threat using whichever means best insures that peace. It could be negotiations or something different.

Cultural suicide is inviting in those who refuse to assimilate or abide by the laws of the land. Europe and now us have been infested by those who believe the lie that all cultures are equal and equally good. Anyone with any sense knows that this is merely an excuse to destroy Western Civilization from within to take it over.

194 I think you've got the interpretation wrong. The caricature is of Mohammad. He's holding a "je suis Charlie" sign, and has a tear in his eye. HE is the one saying ""All is forgiven". It's like Mohammad is saying, "I know you've ridiculed and insulted me in the past, but even I can't stay mad at you after this atrocity on the part of my followers". It's in line with an earlier CH cartoon showing Mohammad saying "It really sucks to be loved by morons". Think it over and look at the cover again - it makes sense.

197 the cover was a call to forgive the terrorists who murdered her colleagues last week

Speaking of media bias, read any article pretaining to violent crime and you willl note the pressure to censor the survivors and the victims' families. You'll see terms like, "accepting the verdict", moving forward" and healing process. The word "closure" is worked to death.
There is an intense amount of bullying going on amidst efforts to allow only certain phrases into print.

The relentless, asinine theme of "revenge solves nothing" is repeated ad nauseum in TV shows and movies. As if any significant percentage of the murders in the US are "revenge" related.

In my opinion what this means is mostly insignificant bleating of sheep. Yes, I agree that it's good that they had the march and expressed some outrage, but at the end of the day, and the news cycle, I don't think it accomplishes much. We've seen this before, and in much bigger ways.
If 9/11, Boston, Ft Hood, London, etc. didn't cause the scales to fall off of eyes, then lighting a few more candles, marching,and building makeshift shrines to those murdered this time does nothing to afford any additional protection from these savages.
What these savages understand and respect is pure violence. That's all they will respect. And I don't mean a few select targets here and there. I'm talking about all out war until they cry mercy - then hit them hard again and dare them to stick their heads up.
But you and I know that will not happen. We are far too civilized for that. Our modern civilization is a suicide pact and all we can do is debate how we want to go out.

There she goes again.

Noonan's blog over at the WSJ:

Lafayette, We Are Not Here

a play on

To formally acknowledge the deep sympathy we feel that France, our oldest ally, suffered in the Charlie Hebdo murders a psychic shock akin to what America felt and suffered on 9/11/01. The day after our tragedy, the great French newspaper Le Monde ran an unforgettable cover with an editorial of affection and love titled Nous sommes tous Americains: "We are all Americans." That was an echo of what our American doughboys, who went to France in 1917 to save it, famously said as they landed: "Lafayette, we are here." Gen. Lafayette had been our first foreign friend and fought alongside Washington when we needed friends, in 1776. Is it sentimental to note this? Great nations run in part on sentiment.

Remember when the terrorists shot up the offices, they were yelling, "The Prophet is avenged"? Well, I think this is Mohammed forgiving the terrorists, because he sympathizes with, and mourns for, Charlie Hebdo. He doesn't need avenging.

Put another way, this is Charlie Hebdo saying, "Screw you, terrorists, we're still here and look who's standing with us!" In general, I think the cover is a dig at Muslims of every stripe, because they let this happen.

What I can't conceive, and what makes me so pessimistic, is that on 9/11 we watched, live on TV, thousands die the most brutal deaths anyone could imagine. We watched it all play out. We saw people burned to death, jump to their deaths and splatter on the concrete below. We sawpeople crushed to death and die in planes used as missiles. We saw our landmarks attacked and people running through the streets in mindless fear. We saw the aftermath and the grieving of loved ones.

After all this, and much more carnage....well, here we are, still living in fear, still afraid to fight to win, still quaking in fear of being called racists, still afraid to show a freaking cartoon image of a centuries old pedophile, still reacting to the latest terror incident, still capitulating to those who want to kill us and alienating ANYONE who would stand up to protect us or speak the truth.

I think they're trying to piss off the Right by saying they forgive the killers, piss off the Muslims by publishing yet another image of Mohammed, (bonus points for the testicle turban and penis nose) and having him show "solidarity" with the infidels, all while mocking the whole "Je suis Charlie" movement.

263 I don't think that is what they meant. I think it is a picture of Mohammed and he is telling the people who caricatured him that all is forgiven. The tears show remorse for what his followers did and while he may have been angry for how he was mocked that it was a lesser crime than that committed by his followers.

265 If the offended prophet is forgiving, it's only after his followers killed those who dared poke fun at him. It's a message that the only way to see forgiveness from a Muslim is to die... and that many of those who are jumping on the bandwagon are clueless to this fact.
