When "Charlie Hebdo" was attacked by extremist Islamic Terrorists for publishing cartoons which poked fun at Mahomet, France immediately defended the universal principle of the "freedom of expression" !
That was right ! It is a basic Human Right !
Poking fun at people with comments or in cartoons is accepted everywhere, but there is a legal limit in France. The laws of Libel and Slander provide legal protection and compensation !
But is there not also a "moral limit" ?
There is now a growing feeling in France that "Charlie Hebdo" is abusing this moral limit ! Is it not now trying to ensure only its Financial Future with more cartoons and by printing millions of "souvenir" editions of its publication ?
It is absolutely true that the "cold blooded slaughter of 17 people by the extremist Islamic Terrorists" is totally inacceptable, but that is another problem !
"Charlie Hebdo" must lead the way and stop repeating these cartoons. It is for others to combat Terrorism !
