My respect to Charlie Hebdo.

And my disrespect to America, Home of the Unbrave.

They are sort of of like French Bill Maher’s.

Honest leftists.

It has to be said that Charb..... Was trying to get National Front banned.

We stand up for for freedom of speech. Or we should.

That is why I donate and encourage everyone else to donate to keep this website up.

Isn’t “All is forgiven” a cave in?

Thank you, that’s what I thought too. This cartoon is meant to be sympathetic to Islam.

I’m getting sick and tired of seeing the words “The Prophet Mohammed” in news reports about the Hebdo atrocity. I don’t consider this guy to have been a prophet. When’s the last time any secular media outlet used the phrase “The Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ”?

While I suppose it’s too much to hope that the phrase “Known pedophile and psychopath Mohammed” would be used, I see no need to call this individual a prophet every time another murder is committed in his name.

“The front cover has already drawn mixed reactions from Muslims in France and overseas.

Egypt’s state-sponsored Islamic authority, Dar al-Ifta, quickly denounced it as “an unjustified provocation against the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims”.

Yes, it is. Fundamental to a clear understanding of forgiveness is the requirement that the recipient is genuinely penitent and intends not to sin again. Any other sort of "forgiveness" is just a reward for bad behavior.

I had hoped that the "All is Forgiven" title was satirical. The artist has made clear it is not. It should have been omitted from the design, which otherwise would have been quite powerful.

Nothing is forgiven. We can't forgive those who are not sorry for what they've done.

I view it as reflecting the very human need for pardon and reconciliation, and especially so given the account of the cartoonist who drew it.

A deity is knocking on our doors and it is not Allah. This is a quintessentially Christian move.

“Overhead is the phrase “Tout est Pardonne” (All is Forgiven), which French media interpreted as meaning Muhammad is forgiving the cartoonists for lampooning him.”

He depicted a weeping Mohammed. That would seem to set the condition you state.

Well, they really ought to have asked the fellow who drew the cartoon before sticking their foot into it.

Given madmo was, among other ghastly things, a robber and instituted the 'jizya', he could be called the 'pedophile and psychopath, profit mahomet'.

Any figurative drawing is forbidden in Islam, and certainly any drawing of Mohammed, whether insulting or not, is considered blasphemy.

Nonetheless, this was Charlie Hebdo’s suck-up to Islam, even though the Muslims were too dumb to understand it. The tearful Mohammed saying (in French, obviously) “All is forgiven,” was nothing but an attempt to say “Islam is the religion of peace” in French.

Good. Keep annoying the headchoppers. Better yet, kick them out of France and send them back to their hell holes.
