I lost respect for Hebdo when they distanced themselves from Pamela Geller’s event.
Now it is Pamela Geller and other pro-freedom fighters job now.
Another day, another revolution of earth. Totalitarians tightening the screws on the cages around our existence.
The NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS and NBC will pick up the torch.
In France and Italy, in a few years time, precious works of real art (frescoes, statuary, reredoes, altarpieces, etc.) will be destroyed by vandals as idolatrous.
These will be dismissed as random incidents.
Editorials will be written about how Protestant mobs in the XVIth century also, in their stupidity and barbarism, destroyed illuminated manuscripts, altarpieces, monstrances, etc. and so it is OK for it happen again.
Editorials will also mention how the highly cultured fascists of the XXth century bombarded, defaced and stole art treasures.
The language of moral equivalence will prevail, and Europe will further decline.
But they will mock Christian figures. They are a worthless bunch of jihadi-appeasing Christian haters.
I could more easily understand getting so pissed off that I never stopped drawing the Mighty Mo. Sheesh. what would Bugs Bunny do?
Next question. Hey, wait a second; Muhammed, who do you think will do the next artistic rendering?
After what happened I have no problem with Charlie Hedbo’s decision not to draw Mohammed. But don’t tell me you won some sort of victory. You eventually lost. Islamists defeated you. I will wait for someone who is the eventual victors.
Pick a photograph of a Muslim rapist, There’s at least a 40% chance he’s named after his prophet, he may not look exactly like the original did, but he carries the spirit of his namesake inside of him, they all do.
Every time they show ISIS on the news America is seeing an image of Mohammed.
Reminds me of a Twilight Zone ep. one of the hour long ones. “He’s Alive” (Hitler). Mohammed is alive.
