The editor of French satirical magazine Charles Hebdo stands by his decision to print a cartoon of a nude Muhammed after global protests against an anti-Islamic film. Riot police have been posted outside the magazine's offices in Paris and the French government will close its embassies in 20 countries on Friday in case of attack.

I’ve never liked to see this picture used to mock the French. (It’s not as if there’s a shortage of alternative ways to mock them.)
The guy is reacting like any patriot would, when a foreign occupying force is marching past. We don’t know anything about him; but, judging by his age, it’s quite likely that he suffered many losses in WWI — and probably saw some action then.
That’s not America. That’s the current a**hole administration. That group of slime will be soon bounced out of office. We don’t kow tow to Muslim pricks in this country....not among the citizenry.
In Europe, it’s practically a sport.
Priceless!
The point is that his country, which was once the country of Napoleon, was over run by fhe Nazis as if they were no more significant than Lichtenstein. It’s sad, but it’s no reflection on him. His is the face of one betrayed by his own worthless country. That’ll probably be our faces after 4 more years of Obama.
After the events of the last week,(and our governmments response to those events) I don't think we are in any position to mock the French for being cowardly anymore.
At my own risk, I tread right into the fray. Still, I have a Johnny Walker in hand. A positive point is that the French Government have allowed the cartoons to be published. We have seen blame on the American Government for not being prepared for the murders of their people over the protests in the Middle East.
Better safe than sorry, could be the watchword here. I remember WW2 quite well. The Brits took off 50,000 French troops at Dunkirk. They were to fight again. A famous statement was "If we do not hang together, we will hang apart". Said by an American patriot. True it was to face the Brits. Also in the words of Winston Churchill "Let us go forward together"
Anyway, from far off Great Lakes Canada/USA. Toodle oo!
Spelt governments wrongly- sorry.
We have been kowtowing to them longer than just this administration. I could recite you a lengthy list starting from 1979 and the Iranian hostage crisis. They have been attacking and killing our people around the globe for over three decades.
IF they all do it the muzzies will go nuts and totally lose it.
Alternately, they may get used to Mo being made fun of. Perhaps we can even get them to wonder why Allah does not fight his own battles and smite us himself?
