Europe
Beyond Charlie
2015-01-14
[DAWN] TODAYS edition of the scurrilous French weekly Charlie Hebdo
...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
, in the latest barrage in what one American commentator has wittily described as a confrontation between OMG and LOL, will almost certainly feature at least a few cartoons that offend some sensibilities.

That would be expected, given last weeks events in and around Gay Paree. Even many of those who contend that Charlie Hebdo went too far in its caricatures would acknowledge that the brothers who last Wednesday took censorship to an intolerable extreme must not be permitted to have the last laugh.

#8  The New York Times refuses to show the new title page of Charlie Hebdo. ALL major European newspapers have.

Maybe appeasement moved to the other side of the pond?

#7   An interesting take on the current difficulty in naming the enemy from Bosch Fawstin Illustrator.

#6  What? The enemy still has not been identified? Is there some kind of cognitive dissonance and schizophrenia going on at the same time in Europe and Washington?

#5  I could not agree with you more g(r)om. I'll wager IS intelligence services are not failing to exploit Syrian collaboration and sharing pportunities either.

#3  Evict all under age 50. Provide ample food and water. March them in at a comfortable pace in groups of 1000 from their Parisian warrens south to Toulouse and across the border into Spain, with onward movement to the ME. Begin immediately.

#2  The 1.5 mill. should have completely torched a Paris no-go area to show this dickhead they were serious about things, and tell the rest of the welfare leeches in the other no-go areas in France to GTFO and move to Syria or Pakistan.

#1  MostMoslems would, one would like to think, be disinclined to agree....

.....as are most regime members and spokespersons in Washington.
