Perhaps the Pope’s reservations about Charlie Hedbo stem from the fact that the magazine often skewered Catholicism.

In fact, on one cover, the magazine pictured the figures of the Holy Trinity engaging in anal sex.

Did you see any reports of outraged Catholics trying to murder the staff of Charlie Hedbo?

There is a difference between what is legally permissible, and what should in not be done, in terms of common decency. To ignore that will only result in ever increasing requests for the State to regulate speech, which coincidentally, is exactly what has happened in Western secular democracies over the last several decades.

Self-regulation is the key here, not government intrusion.

Important point here.

While CH was trashing Christians, the Leftists and their media running dogs were fine with it - after all, Christians are easy targets; any complanit was dealt with by the smear machine.

But when Allah Snackbar attacks and kills them, THEN AND ONLY THEN is there solidarity from the Left.
