PARIS (Reuters) -A French satirical weekly whose office was fire bombed after it printed a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad has reproduced the image with other caricatures in a special supplement distributed with one of the country's leading newspapers.

The weekly Charlie Hebdo defended "the freedom to poke fun" in the four-page supplement, which was wrapped around copies of the left-wing daily Liberation on Thursday, a day after an arson attack gutted Charlie Hebdo's Paris headquarters.

They just got themselves a new subscriber, even though his French is a bit rusty.

Not, THAT’S the French I like.

Keep it up. Muzzies have no tolerance for us.

Return the favor with interest.

OohRah!

Apparently “Charlie Hebdo” has a higher testicular quotient than “SwissInfo” which declined to publish the cartoon with their article.

Contrast them to the shaking poodles who run U.S. print and electronic media, almost all of whom would never publish a depiction of Muhammad, 7th century warlord / prophet for Muslims.

Good point

Roughly translated: 100 lashes if you didn’t die laughing!

Mo says: “100 lashes if you don’t laugh out loud!”

[BallyBill]

Take that!

I fear the guy won’t get any praise from his countrymen.

[BfloGuy]

Oddly enough, the French are much more immune to political correctness than we Anglo-Saxons.

[Popman]

Who knew the French had it in them ?

Compared to our emasculated press it’s shocking

[Boogieman]

I love how they made his turban look like a certain part of the male anatomy :)

[Jack Hydrazine]

How long before the French raise the white flag? Time to start a betting pool. Call it Fantasy French Football!

One should treat the pedophile and his work of fiction with the respect due.

We have a large amt.of Muslims here in FL. They won’t look at you. Maybe they are afraid that we’ll give them the look of death,or because they think we’re beneath them.
