I went out this afternoon hoping to find a copy of the latest petrol-bomb-tastic issue of Charlie Hebdo, thinking I could make some money by selling it on Ebay, but it seems that others had the same idea. The lady at the newsstand said the issue was sold out by 8 a.m. Drats!
For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, click here. In a nutshell, the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo released an issue this week about the Arab Spring that was “guest edited” by Mohammed and featured a cartoon image of him on the cover. You’d have to have a death wish to do something like that, but Charlie Hebdo did it. You can see the aftermath in the photo above — last night the newspaper’s offices were firebombed and completely destroyed.
In celebration of free speech and the right to blasphemy, please enjoy the following:

Too bad, thought that the angry Muslims of Europe had settled down a little since the agitations of 2005/2006.
All religions should be subject to mockery, or all exempt from it. AngloF, I know which approach you prefer.
Imagine if secularists like me reacted as violently to religious hate speech as religious extremists react to blasphemy. We can see who has the real problem here.
