Hebdo Bombing

As you have probably heard, the office of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo was destroyed by a bomb for daring to print an anti-Muhammed cartoon.

I was glad to learn that they are undefeated.  The newspaper has reprinted the cartoon and has distributed it as a special supplement.

I wasn't able to find the exact cartoon in question, but from what I did find (see the cartoon on the right) it seems they are equal opportunity satirists.  It's just that currently, only Islamic extremists go so far as to spill blood due to their religion (Timothy McVeigh was a Christian, but it wasn't his Christianity that drove him to destroy the Oklahoma City Federal Building).

Also, not all anti-Islamic cartoons Hebdo published are anti-Mohammed.  The one on the left, for instance, is entitled Mohammed Overcome by the Fundamentalists.  Its balloon says, “It’s a Drag Being Loved By Idiots”.
