Muslims denounce new ‘defiant’ Charlie Hebdo cover
Middle East Online ^ | 1-13-2015 | Marc Burleigh

Egypt's Islamic authority denounces Charlie Hebdo cover of crying Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) above slogan ‘All is Forgiven.’

A defiant Charlie Hebdo cover of a crying Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) above the slogan "All is Forgiven" was reproduced by media around the world Tuesday but was seen by many Muslims as an unnecessary provocation.

The front page of the French satirical newspaper -- its first since many of its staff were slain in a jihadi attack last week that killed 12 people -- was widely taken up by media in Western nations and in Latin America.

It shows Mohammed (PBUH) on a green background under the ambiguous title "All is forgiven".

But major media in many Arab and some African and Asian countries, as well as Turkey, were did not show it due to Muslim sensitivity to portraying Mohammed.

Egypt's Islamic authority denounced the Charlie Hebdo cover. Violent riots broke out there in early 2006 over Mohammed caricatures first printed by a Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, and later republished by Charlie Hebdo.

"This action is an unjustified provocation against the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims," the authority, Dar al-Ifta, said.

Many devout Muslims view any depiction of their prophet as forbidden and Charlie Hebdo's past caricatures of Mohammed as inflammatory insults.

Because of huge demand for the special "survivors' issue" of Charlie Hebdo, some three million copies are to be printed -- far more than the usual 60,000 before the attack brought the weekly to worldwide prominence -- and it will be translated into 16 languages.

The issue will include cartoons by its murdered cartoonists.

An advance copy contained cartoons mocking the two Islamist gunmen who carried out the attack. One has them arriving in paradise and asking, "Where are the 70 virgins?"

"With the Charlie team, losers," comes the reply.

They should have published their cartoons right after 9-11-2001. Looks like the war on terror is just getting started.

F'n Muslims have no ability to be contrite. They should be licking the soles our boots and begging for forgiveness.

Didn’t last long. Just a few days after the innocents were buried the towelheads reverted back to their standard way of acting: hate/anger/intolerance.

The awesome Zombie, publisher of the online Zombietimes has an entire gallery of Mohammad cartoons and images.

MY favorite is the historic graphic novel depiction of the "prophet" Mohammad as he goes about his crimes of torture rape and murder.

Hebdo saw it ... just as NECESSARY ... as them pissing all over Jesus, as the Son of God, too!

Hebdo doesn’t get any credit with me ... Hebdo needs to be just as DEAD as the Muslims — which will happen when Jesus, the Messiah of Israel returns to earth and kills all Muslims on earth, plus all the mockers of Jesus, at Hebdo, too!

This is the problem!!! 1.5 million muslims keep their mouths shut when terrorism occurs but speak loudly when their sacred religion is questioned!

I would place one strategic glass melting bomb in the center of where most of them live. Perhaps that would get their attention!!!!

Okay.

But I’m willing to wait until then to see cartoonists punished. I do not see it as my place to kill, or advocate the killing of someone simply because they write or draw something I find offensive.

Well put. Apparently drawing cartoons is provocative, but killing thousands of people isn’t.
