Posted on my Facebook wall immediately. Thanks for sharing the link. Earlier today, I was searching for news stories about the shooting incident in Paris that would actually show the cartoons published by Charlie Hebdo to establish context for how cowardly and despicable the shooting was. Most English-language press outlets are not showing the cartoons. A comment on one news site pointed out that Spanish-language media are generally not being so gutless today, so I linked a slideshow from El Pais[1] on my Facebook wall so that my friends could see that the shooting is all about suppressing free speech.

The appropriate response is print blasphemous cartoons in every paper in the free world. Do they think they can kill everyone?

  I think cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad may be in the process of being introduced to a certain Barbra Streisand.

Thanks for sharing this. For context, the picture says: - top-left: "Mahomet overwhelmed by fundamentalists" - in the speech bubble: "It's hard to be loved by dumbasses" (the meaning of "con" is hard to convey in certain cases, it has this idea of "nefariously idiotic" - translating it to "cunt" wouldn't do it justice I believe) In any case, this is all very alarming. I hope nobody submits to the threats, as is the point of "Je suis Charlie". I also feel for all the Muslims who will end up being discriminated against for the actions of a few imbeciles.

  (For the record, I think "con" and "cunt" are very identical, since they both mean "nasty idiot" and "female genitalia")
