WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — The White House criticized French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in 2012 for publishing cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad.

Then White House Press Secretary Jay Carney questioned the magazine’s judgment after publishing images of Muhammad naked.

“We are aware that a French magazine published cartoons featuring a figure resembling the Prophet Muhammad, and obviously we have questions about the judgment of publishing something like this,” Carney told reporters in September 2012.

Carney stated that the images would be “deeply offensive to many and have the potential to be inflammatory.”
