Je ne suis pas Charlie
Does or did anyone on the Charlie Hebdo staff consider that there was and will be collateral damage as the result of their equal opportunity blaspheming under the guise of free speech? Five families are mourning the loss of loved ones thanks to Hebdo's hubris. Of course I am anti fatwa and anti terrorist, but I am also for civility and common sense. Even the Pope said that there would be repercussions if anyone insulted his mother. The Hebdo staff repeatedly provoked a bull by deliberately waving a red cape in its face, and innocent people died along with them. How many more will die because the remaining members of the Hebdo staff proudly continue to wave the cape? Madness. Je ne suis pas Charlie.
