I heard the Charlie Hebdo’s special edition features Mohammed with a tear running from his eye. Talk about giving in to the terrorists. So they go from making fun of Mohammed into making him a sympathetic figure. They dishonor their slain coworkers and what they stood for. Unless the cartoons inside the magazine are different, it sounds like the terrorists won.
Now you can make fun of Catholics with the Jesuit priests blessing, but not Mohammed.
Well, I don’t pretend to understand their thinking for sure, but perhaps they are trying to shame the terrorists by having their “prophet” apologize for their behavior? and the “all is forgiven” probably needs a sarcasm tag.
