COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RUSSIA TODAY
“Trial of Paris attack accomplices begins as Macron says Charlie Hebdo had right to publish Prophet Mohammed cartoons”
The Charlie Hebdo cartoon is just plain hate, not humor or satire.
If you published a cartoon anything like that with a Jewish figure in it, you would immediately be condemned as being anti-Semitic and, in some countries, you could go to jail.
Why is it okay to hate Muslims?
What a complete lack of respect for any values but your own self-indulgence.
