Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Charlie Hebdo’s new edition includes Muhammad cartoons

Jan 12, 2015 6:11 pm By Robert Spencer

charlie hebdo post massacre“We will not give in otherwise all this won’t have meant anything.” They are to be commended for their courage and resolution. While the lights of freedom are going out all over the West, as authorities and media outlets rush to capitulate to Islamic supremacist demands for conformity to Sharia blasphemy restrictions, Charlie Hebdo is hanging tough. If only we had 100 more publications like this one — the Islamic supremacists would be on the ropes.

“Charlie Hebdo’s Wednesday edition to include Prophet Mohammed cartoons,” by Henry Samuel, the Telegraph, January 12, 2015 (thanks to Jen):

The next edition of Charlie Hebdo, out on Wednesday with a million-copy print run, will “naturally” contain cartoons of Prophet Mohammed, along with jibes against politicians and religions across the board, said the stricken weekly’s lawyer.

Richard Malka was among the first to call for the magazine to continue functioning after nine of its contributors, including famed cartoonists Cabu and Wolinski and its publishing director, Charb, were gunned down last Wednesday by Chérif and Saïd Kouachi.

When asked whether that meant more cartoons of Mohammed, which have been a regular feature in the magazine until last Wednesday’s attack, he replied: “Naturally.”

“We will not give in otherwise all this won’t have meant anything,” he told France Info radio on Monday, which broadcast from the magazine’s heavily guarded temporary offices at Libération newspaper.

“Humour without self-deprecation isn’t humour. We mock ourselves, politicians, religions, it’s a state of mind you need to have.”

“The Charlie state of mind is the right to blaspheme,” he went on.

Referring to the “Je Suis Charlie” slogans in support of its slain cartoonists that have circled the globe, he said: “A Je Suis Charlie banner means you have the right to criticise my religion, because it’s not serious.”

“We have never criticised a Jew because he’s a Jew, a Muslim because he’s a Muslim or a Christian because he’s a Christian. But you can say anything you like, the worst horrors – and we do – about Christianity, Judaism and Islam, because behind the nice slogans, that’s the reality of Charlie Hebdo,” he said.

Asked whether the surviving Charlie editorial team were able to focus on their job, he said: “It’s complicated, because we have to manage the future, the funerals that will take place all this week, but it’s moving forward and will be completed this evening.”

“It’s an act of life, of survival,” he said.

Luz, a Charlie cartoonist, said working on the issue was keeping him and colleagues sane. “We’re getting by. We are having less nightmares. We are trying to put a magazine together and find some calm and inspiration, it’s not easy.”

“We are down to a skeleton staff since last Wednesday as you might have noticed but we’ll try our best.”…

    What an inspiration these cartoonists are! BRAVO is not good enough!

    How can any decent human being NOT admire these skeleton staff trying to rebuild their lives and their publication while our Duplicitous Hypocritical Clueless and Cowardly leaders are SUBMITTING to Islamic TERROR while pretending “we are Charlie”!

    What about the TV stations and newspapers in the West?

    They too with obscene degrees of Hypocrisy Duplicity and Spinelessness follow their witless politicians instead of standing up in support of their slaughtered brave colleagues but instead slithered in the sewer to save themselves from Islam

    Unless “WE the PEOPLE” remove these current spineless leaders and replace them with ones with more backbone, there is no way Western civilization will survive Islam’s genocidal war. No way!

          Ever heard the song, “Give me some men/ who are stout-hearted men/ and I’ll soon give you ten thousand more…”?

          Read G K Chesterton. I suggest you look up what he had to say on the subject of the game that is called “cheat the prophet”.

      @ IQ al Rassooli

      “Unless “WE the PEOPLE” remove these current spineless leaders…”

      I have repeated this sentence here on JW over a zillion times.
      Unfortunately many JW readers’ only reply was: we are civilized people, we don’t do that!!!

      And when I say: They’ve done it in Egypt, they’ve done it peaceably, and it worked.
      The answer was the same: we are civilized people, we must wait for the next elections!!!

      Next elections? good luck with that.

        My understanding is that Sisi took control of Egypt in 2013 with a coup d’etat on the back of popular demonstrations with turnouts multiplied by many times by a sympathetic media.

        He then won an election in 2014 with 96% of a the vote. Don’t make me laugh. Who ever gets 96% of the vote in a real democracy? I don’t think Sadam Husain ever got that much.

        Happy to be corrected with genuine and verifiable information though.

          Rubbish! It’s worth remembering that Curchill didn’t become PM by winning an election in 1940. He “emerged” as leader from the smoke filled rooms of the Conservative Party after Chamberlain resigned. His first election campaign for PM was in 1945 and he lost because the soldiers came home sick of the upper class they had been saluting for five years and thought they deserved something better.

          If you think Churchill would be that popular today you are seriously deluded. The British people have only just started to wake up to our problems with Muslim immigration and global jihad. Nigel Farage is the most outspoken of the leaders but he can only go so far and has about 15 – 20% support. The majority are still under the impression that Islam is just another religion because that’s what they’ve been fed for years.

          I don’t like your idea of ditching democracy and toppling governments on the streets. It hasn’t worked out well in the Arab Spring uprisings or Ukraine has it? Even on a practical level 20% of the people couldn’t hope to achieve anything that way. They would be crushed and the left would be the winners. I’m afraid it will take time, patience and a lot more atrocities before a majority understand that Islam is our implacable enemy – and if there’s a majority then democracy will do the job, slowly but surely.

          There’s such a thing as going off half-cocked you know.

          Andrew Bostom has shown good reason to suspect Sisi. Another good reason (that oddly seems to elude quite a few in the Counter-Jihad) is that Sisi is a devout Muslim.

          @ ECAW

          “If you think Churchill would be that popular today you are seriously deluded.”

          You may be right on this one. My apologies.

          ——————————————————————-

          “The majority are still under the impression that Islam is just another religion…”

          You may be right on this one too. No one knows Islam better than Muslims themselves, that’s why the Egyptians threw the Muslim Brotherhood out of power in less than a year. It may take longer in the West.

          ————————————————–

          “It hasn’t worked out well in the Arab Spring uprisings…”

          No, it hasn’t. The reason is that the Muslim Brotherhood thugs were so well organized, they have hijacked the revolutions.
          On the other hand, they lost their power in less than a year (Egypt, Tunisia.)

          ——————————————–

          “…and if there’s a majority then democracy will do the job…”

          I couldn’t agree more. Please take the time to watch this:

          “I’m afraid it will take time, patience and a lot more atrocities before a majority understand that Islam is our implacable enemy”

          Given the recently accelerated fast pace of Islam’s conquering of and bringing into submission the west, and the slow pace of this later’s awakening, it will be toooo much late then, to reverse things!!!

        • ECAW says

          Jan 14, 2015 at 3:29 am

          Looks that way doesn’t it Terry, but I am more optimistic. I see us in a straight race between demography/stealth jihad on the one hand and our being woken up by increasing atrocities. I fear the former more (MB etc) and rely on AQ and ISIS to wake us up before it’s too late. That’s why, although saddened by the massacre in Paris, I also welcome these atrocities as absolutely necessary and our best hope for a long term positive outcome (and hate the jihadis of both kinds for making me think that way).

        Charlie Hebdo first started to oppose the Jihad on freedom of speech by reprinting the Danish MoToons, including Westergaard’s piece.

      “the cover cartoon by Luz of Muhammed holding the “Je Suis Charlie” sign is also *hilarious*.”

      Really? Can someone explain it to me then because I don’t get the joke.

      Who has forgiven who and for what?

      It appears to me is that Mohammed is shedding tears for the evil done in his name by misunderstanders of Islam and is forgiving them and claiming to be for free speech. Unless that is meant to be a crocodile tear, in which case it would make more sense.

      Je ne suis pas Charlie. Not bloody likely!

        Yes, I respect the Charlie Hebdo staff for attempting to carry on. Yes, I’m for free speech. But had I been Luz, I’d have drawn a wild-eyed Mo holding up the bloody heads of my colleagues screaming, “If you don’t call us a religion of peace, or this will happen to you!”

          Jan 13, 2015 at 7:20 am

          The intention is to laugh at how so many people that have nothing in common with the spirit of Charlie Hebdo have got on the Je Suis Charlie bandwagon now it’s popular – leaders of countries that repress free speech, the Catholic church, politicians they used to mock, like Sarkozy and Hollande, people who before didn’t read the paper and criticised it for being too provocative, etc… The cartoon is saying, “well if they are all Charlie” and they think that ” all is forgiven” now because they waved Je Suis Charlie placards, then why not Mohammed too? It’s meant to be ironic and is taking it to a riduculous degree, imagining that even Mohammed would like to claim to be “Charlie” now.

        • ECAW says

          Jan 13, 2015 at 8:07 am

          It doesn’t appear to be ironic according to this:

          Asked to explain the magazine’s front cover, which features a cartoon of a crying Muhammad wearing a “Je suis Charlie” badge under the heading “All is forgiven”, Rhazoui said: “We feel that we have to forgive what happened. I think those who have been killed, if they would have been able to have a coffee today with the terrorists and just talk to ask them why have they done this … We feel at the Charlie Hebdo team that we need to forgive.”

          She added: “The two terrorists who killed our colleagues, we cannot feel any hate … The mobilisation that happened in France after this horrible crime must open the door to forgiveness. Everyone must think about this forgiveness.”

        • Oliver Rowland says

          Jan 13, 2015 at 12:47 pm

          The idea that it opens a door to forgiveness etc, might just be the point of view of that one person interviewed – whose name sounds kind of Arabic… But probably also it’s deliberately ambiguous, and also trying to be humourous (the incongruity of Mohammed marching with that sign) without being too overly inflmammatory. I know that the best-known surviving cartoonists there, of which the person quoted is not one, have expressed discomfort at them becoming a kind of universal symbol embraced by all sorts of people they have nothing in common with .

        • voegelinian says

          Jan 13, 2015 at 3:31 pm

          From ECAW’s link:

          Zineb El Rhazoui, a surviving columnist at Charlie Hebdo magazine who worked on the new issue, said the cover was a call to forgive the terrorists who murdered her colleagues last week, saying she did not feel hate towards Chérif and Saïd Kouachi despite their deadly attack on the magazine, and urged Muslims to accept humour.

          “We don’t feel any hate to them. We know that the struggle is not with them as people, but the struggle is with an ideology,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

          First of all, it’s a bad sign that there’s someone on the Charlie Hebdo “team” named “Zineb El Rhazoui”. Secondly, this spokeswoman for Charlie Hebdo is evidently practicing Stealth Jihad — particularly of the Good Cop (or “Good Mo”) subtype. After every attack by front-line Muslims waging Violent Jihad, we have seemingly good, decent, West-assimilated Muslims coming out to counsel moderation and to reinforce the PC MC TMOE (Tiny Minority of Extremists) meme, along with the “the problem is not with Muslims, but with the Ideology…” meme (both of which, to one degree or another, also tend to be reinforced, if only often unwittingly, by the asymptotic logic that pops up now and again within the Counter-Jihad).

          This official statement from the Charlie Hebdo “team” spokeswoman, Zineb El Rhazoui, shows dismayingly that the intent of this latest cover was, unfortunately, dead wrong. The unintended effect, however, seems more or less salutary…

      • gravenimage says

        Jan 14, 2015 at 2:47 pm

        I believe you are wrong to think that this cover is about forgiveness—I’m not sure where you got that.

        The cover is more about defiance—saying ‘we’re still doing Muhammed cartoons’, and using what is now a great slogan of defiance, “Je Suis Charlie”.

        • ECAW says

          Jan 14, 2015 at 3:06 pm

          I got the idea that the cartoon was about forgiveness from the words “All is forgiven” at the top and from this quote by one of the surving team who produced it:

          “We feel that we have to forgive what happened. I think those who have been killed, if they would have been able to have a coffee today with the terrorists and just talk to ask them why have they done this … We feel at the Charlie Hebdo team that we need to forgive….Everyone must think about this forgiveness.”

          Sorry, ECAW—you are quite right. I missed that part, and it *is* troubling.

          Over all, though, I still believe that Charlie Hebdo coming out on schedule, running a huge print run, and featuring another Mohammed cartoon on the cover represents an act of defiance—and that this is how it is taken by the millions of French and other Westerners rushing out to buy copies.

    I’m getting mine through Newstand.co.uk (http://alturl.com/sty4f) who apparently make world-wide deliveries.

    Interestingly, Newstand are saying:
    “Due to extremely high demand for this issue (we have been selling magazines for 117 years and we don’t recall much like it) as well as unconfirmed final delivery numbers, we can never guarantee that all orders for the special Charlie Hebdo edition will be fulfilled – however we will refund any outstanding orders in full.”

    The fact that there is unprecedented demand for this issue of HB is really good news! And it also sounds as if you should get in there quickly if you want your copy!

    I’m sorry but this has to be, far by the must stupid thing French could do. Haven’t we learned anything? 12 people lost their lives because of a picture where the prophet Mohammed was included, how many more have to lose theirs, for you guys to realize that there are actually terrorists out there, that will do whatever they can to get back. I know we live in a world where we’re allowed to say what we want to and feel whatever we want. That’s the greatest thing ever, but on a side of this, our freedom might cost us our own life. Look at those journalist, losing their lives for painting and expressing themselves. I wouldn’t want to paint the prophets face, not only because I am afraid of terrorism, but because I have seen what it can lead too. If those ‘terrorist’ don’t want us to paint their prophet, why do we do it? Are we asking for terrorism? I know I’m not. And that’s why we people should not paint the prophet Mohammed, there are way to many terrorists out there that are capable of way more than this. It’s not about your freedom speech when you’ve lost the respect.

    If Muslims don’t wan’t people to paint their prophet, then please don’t do it. This world is changing, and we can all see that. Terrorism is not going to take over, we need to be stronger. Muslims are good people, I know because I’ve met Muslims. Terrorism my friend? That’s our enemy. ISIS & AL-QAEDA are our enemies. They’re not Muslims, but terrorist.

      Abby, I’m an American. The motto of New Hampshire is ‘Live Free or Die.’ It’s a country-wide sentiment. That’s because liberty and freedom are more valued than life itself. USA is the ‘Land of the free and home of the brave.’ We do not fear terrorism, we hate it and will destroy it.

      Abby, I like to respond to this. Only in part. As I am sure on JihadWatch much better and fiercer rebuttals can and will be given to your post.

      Abby, you don’t seem to get it why freedom of speech is so important. But without it, we would be defenseless to a large extant. Look, all may be insulted and insult back, so it’s a fair rule. Charlie Hebdo also ridiculed Christian idols, anti-Islam politicians.

      When satirists ridicule, draw and write, the only border is inciting to violence, which is the line drawn by the cartoonists but broken by the terrorists. But for other restrictions the question is; Who is to decide what is OK and what not?

      The Muslims seem to be asking for an exception to the rule and special protection for Mohammed, their idol. But when we give in to them, then all sorts of people can demand exception for all sorts of idols, including Hitler,Stalin etc;

      Moreover, we in the West could demand similar protection of jews and Western politicians who are being insulted deeply in the Islamic world. But that is unenforceable and if you fully realise that, then you must realise how one-sided and unreasonable or maybe plain duplicitous and evil your suggestion to refrain from ridiculing Mohammed is.

      And sure, Muslims are en masse good people, but they also are accountable for their religion which is a choice, where race is not a choice. And they or their leaders are obviously responsible for a criminally UNCLEAR ANBIGUOUS MULTI-INTERPRETABLE religion, without clear enough, enforced tenets.

      Which is without any enforcing authority that could throw out those terrorists and their sympathisers, which run in the hundreds of millions in the world. But true to form. Muslims ridiculously still say that the terrorists, who shout Allahu Akbar and who “avenge the prophet” are NOT MUSLIMS. But never is any serious attempt made to draw up clear guidelines for Islam about violence and who are innocent and who are guilty in the eyes of Islam,

      And thus never is ANY terrorist ever thrown out of Islam! Why, if the terrorist wanted himself to get out of Islam, it is Islam itself that forbids apostasy on pain of death!

      President Al Sisi already has chastised the Muslim leaders of Al Azhar that the world expects some kind of reform from them that addresses this criminal vagueness, ambiguity, multi-interpretability of Islam and the resulting violence, which so many Muslims then call abuse and misunderstanding of Islam. But the leaders of Islam should be held accountable for those constant and huge misunderstandings.

        Abby, today it’s our right to draw cartoons. What will we lose tomorrow? Tomorrow you will be forced to wear a tent above your head and you won’t be allowed to drive a car. Men will be able to rape you and you won’t be able to report the rape unless you can provide four witnesses. Do not allow them to convince you that defending your freedom is immoral. Our freedom is a God-given right and we must defend it at all costs.

          Right. And pretty soon a muslim cleric will make a statement saying that people shouldn’t be allowed to be build snowmen. Because snowmen are sultry. And can induce eroticism. And snowmen are potentially lusty (with their carrot noses and stick arms and all.)

          Oh wait… that already happened!

    • Randy Shackleford says

      Jan 13, 2015 at 5:11 am

      Abby,
      Your suggestion that we should align our behaviours to the wishes of terrorists is asking rather a lot. Terrorists will have many things that they find offensive such as our legal system, gender mixing, dietary choices, music, etc. This time their target has been cartoonists and the Jewish population. Next time they will attack for another equally spurious and roots rotten ideal. If you watch Dispatches- Undercover Mosque- you will see the wildly offensive views espoused in mosques. If you read postings on Islamic forums, you will find endless vindictive rants against the Kaffur, Jews, and Christians- anybody who does not agree with them. We therefore already have a one way street where hate gushes from mosques worldwide directed at all other groups, and criticism of this doctrine of hate is silenced across western media.
      Charlie Hebdo has only done what everyone should have been doing all along- criticising or satirising a vicious fairy tail inflicting untold misery around the world. To give the religion special protection from criticism, at the behest of terrorists, would not only prove the criticism to be valid, but would also open the floodgates of capitulation to any and all demands terrorists make. That has happened enough already.
      Finally, my mother is Christian. She is offended when the name of the God she worships is taken in vain millions of times a day and is a part of the vernacular. She understands not everybody follows her religion, and that she has no right to demand the respect of others for it. She is strong and quiet in her faith- secure enough to be unruffled. Imagine the bloodbath if the phrase OMG used commonly in all TV programming became OMA. If the demands emanating from the Muslim population are met simply because they are backed by murder and violence, then all hope is already lost and centuries of evolution, reformation, and cultural advancement can be reversed because some tw*t with an AK says so. What message would that be for the kids Abby? I mean really..

      Abby, killing people may not be what Christianity is about, but for the past 1400 years the world has been learning the hard way that killing people is what the Islamic religion is about.

      Jan 13, 2015 at 6:24 am

      Abby…I hope your response is a satire! If it is – it’s brilliant, albeit you ought to make sure we can appreciate it as such.

      If it isn’t…..then things are, as they say, somewhat more problematic. I’ll stop satirizing the Muslim prophet if and when his followers stop denigrating, oppressing and brutalizing the followers of other religions. NO religion deserves to be held above scrutiny or be kept free from justified criticism! Ibn Hisham’s redaction of Ibn Ishaq’s Sirah Rasul Allah paints the picture of an appalling individual – I’d suggest you actually read it before you defend Muhammad. After that please familiarize yourself with the relevant canonical hadiths (I realize your time is valuable so start with Sahih Muslim and al-Bukhari) and then finally read the Qur’an in the full knowledge of what verses have been abrogated and what ones are still extant. After that – yes, I will listen to your specious arguments. Although how you can make such claims when the evidence of Muslim savagery is all about you – from Boko Haram and al-Shabaab in Africa, IS in the levant, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Abu Sayyaf if the Phillippines – is utterly beyond me! But I will listen to you. After you have made the effort to educate yourself. Not before.

      As for the “I’ve met Muslims” bleat… Please, do try to develop a more nuanced view of the world! I have lived in the dar al-Islam, I have Muslim friends and have dearly loved some (not-exactly devout) Muslims-by-cultural-inheritance (still do, actually). I am not a culturally illiterate, probably monolingual PC multiculturalist. I can avow there are wonderful Muslims out there. There were wonderful Germans and Japanese during WWII too, I suspect. But the regimes they supported, actively or passively, were obscenities that fully merited the destruction that was visited upon them during that terrible but entirely necessary war. If you refuse to offend someone doing something wrong, you condone their actions. If you hold Islam beyond scrutiny, you allow all kinds of abominations to lurk uncontested in the shadows – from FGM and child marriages, to the application of Shariah law and the stoning of adulterers, sex-slavery and all the other delights Daesh has visited upon us. Your behaviour is racist – the sick, soft racism that says we can’t hold non-White, non-Judaeo-Christian groups up to the same standards of morality as we do to ‘proper people’. You seem to imply Muslims cannot be judged as moral agents because they are either too simple or their psyches are too fragile to bear such scrutiny. Killing someone because they’ve offended you is the mark of a barbarian, and those who excuse such behaviour are themselves just as barbaric.

      I do so agree with you. ‘Each to his own’ remained, in the west at least, for decades while governments were engaged in keeping the ‘otheres’ out. Large groups with religious or political identities have been the norm for us all since we began to discover there were others in the world. It’s so sad to think we might be the only concsious beings in the universe and we are still killing each other not for territory or resources but for daring to hold different views,

        That might work.

        *I*d* like to see them getting in touch with the ex-Muslim who created the series “Mohammed’s ‘Believe It – or else!” (which exposes all manner of Quran-Sira-Hadith bizarrerie, with illustrations) and simply serialising it, as is. Very educational…

        Or they could visit some of the Islamic Q & A forums, or the places where assorted fatwas are placed on the record (Raymond Ibrahim could give them the good oil).

        Imagine what they could make of ‘adult suckling’. And camel urine. And the jinn that lurk in toilets, ready to jump out and get the unwary Muslim who fails to observe proper procedure, enter and leave with the correct foot foremost and without reciting the proper incantations.

    “The Prophet” is all Islam has. After he died a battle was fought over who would succeed him. He was a failure because he only cared about power. Only a man who was incompetent with women would endorse polygamy. After a woman found out what he was like it is quite likely she would find another woman and con her into a relationship with them so she wouldn’t have to deal with him. We only have his word that Gabriel (Ja Bril) appeared to him in a cave. And why would God replace his own son Jesus with an illiterate man? So Allah is the God Muslims are taught about. Whereas God the Father of Jesus is the real God of the universe.

    • Michael Copeland says

      Jan 13, 2015 at 7:50 am

      “”The prophet” is all Islam has.”

      No crowds witnessing healings. No followers witnessing a transfiguration. No accounts written by those who knew him.

      The Bible is a library, with books from many distinguished contributors over a very long period. The Koran, in compete contrast, was brought to the Arabs hundreds of years later by one man only, an illiterate desert tribesman camel dealer. He is the ONLY PERSON to vouch for it. There is no corroborative material. It was not, at first, written, but passed on by oral transmission.

      The Hadiths, the traditions, concern this one man, and are not first- or second-hand, but many “hands” later, passed on by oral tradition. Many are considered “weak”.
      The Sira, the biography of the one man, was put together nearly two hundred years after his alleged lifetime.

      Islam has no other sources.

      There is an enormous corpus of later writings concerning Mohammed and his life. It ALL depends on the one man. It is an inverted pyramid. Everything in Islam depends on one man’s word. However, the traditions record that Islam’s one man instructed his followers they could use deception in the cause of Islam.

      There it is. EVERYTHING in Islam depends on a man who said it was permissible to lie.

      The youtube trailer, “Innocence of Muslims”, accurately portrays events in the life of Mohammed. Every incident included is drawn from those sources and faithfully depicted. The film is biographical. Usama Dakdok verifies it scene by scene: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsef0vBN.

      It is, however, unmistakeably low-budget. Its cheapness is, to our rather spoilt sensitivities, a little insulting. We tend, without realising it, to receive it as a caricature, which it is not. Muslim spokesmen have alleged that it is mocking and insulting, but it is neither. It is on a par with another kind of low-budget enactment of a scriptural story, a school Nativity play.

      Films are powerful. A biographical film of Mohammed would be immensely informative. This will not emerge from the muslim world.

    The recent Jihadi atrocity in Paris in which Charlie Hebdos staff were murdered in cold blood demonstrates very clearly that Europe, whether it likes to admit it or not, is about to enter a period of protracted violent conflict which will probably progress into civil war. The coming conflict may see the emerging and increasingly confident forces of Islam, aligned with the traitorous forces of the extreme left, pitted against a weak and traitorous liberal elite which would undoubtedly cravenly submit to the Sharia imposing barbarians that are now well established ‘fifth columnists’ throughout all of Europe. The collapse of European civilisation may now be only a few short decades away and the future that European children may inherit would be unlike that of previous generations. If there is any consolation here it is only in the fact the traitorous people responsible for all this will be the first to lose their heads and I for one will take great delight in this.

    Drastic situations often require drastic measures and unless we act soon it will be too late to save Europe from its impending Islamisation.. It is, therefore, imperative that all Muslim immigration is stopped immediately; no more Muslims in Europe! Continued Muslim immigration means an increasingly rapid Muslim demographic and with their higher birth-rates the continued rapid pace of Islamisation will continue. This will inevitably create more Muslim ghettos and increasing levels of segregation. Within these segregated ghettos aspects of Sharia law will be implemented and increasing numbers of young Muslims will become radicalised. Perceptions of grievance and a growing hostility against the host society will lead to more violent attacks against the native populations of Europe. The Jihadis are confident that they will capture Europe and impose Sharia on its populations; they know the political classes of Europe are weak and ready to bow to Allah; we must not, therefore, allow their numbers to increase through further immigration. The ultimate priority is the safety and security of our people; nothing else matters.

    Preventing further Muslim immigration however is not enough; significant numbers of Muslims should be repatriated to their ancestral homelands as their birth-rates are, in themselves, sufficient to increase the Muslim population to dangerous levels which threaten the peace and security of the native populations of Europe. These Muslims must also be repatriated because Islam is incompatible with Western Civilisation; Islam is culturally incompatible with the cultures of Europe and represents a blot on our European cultural landscape.

    A process of de-Islamisation in Europe must coincide with mass repatriation. All Mosque construction must be halted and all funding of Islamic cultural centres stopped. No tax payer’s money must be spent on any Islamic organisations as this is a form of Jyzia and our people are not Dhimmis. Muslims must not hold any positions of authority in any European governments and certainly not in any security related departments; these positions should only be for European people. All politically correct organisations that promote Islam must have their funding stopped. All halal slaughter must cease immediately and under no circumstances must our children be fed halal in schools. We are not barbarians! The teaching of Islam in our schools must cease immediately. Our children and young people must not be subjected to Cultural Marxist indoctrination about Islam; it is not a religion of peace it is a vile death cult with a long and bloody history. We must not allow our children to be lied to. The process of mass repatriation along with the de-Islamisation of Europe is the only way to preserve European civilisation and prevent white genocide.

    Once the Muslim problem has been solved we must then turn our attention to the ‘liberal elites’ who have imposed this multicultural nightmare on our people; we know who they are and they will be held to account. The imposition of multiculturalism and mass immigration is nothing but a heinous crime against the peoples and civilisations of Europe. The policy of race replacement is genocide against the peoples of Europe and genocide is a crime that must receive the harshest of punishments. The Cultural Marxists in the higher institutions of education must be crushed and replaced by patriotic historians and academics that will not use their ‘Ivory Tower’ existence to demoralise our young people by telling them that their race is bad and responsible for historic crimes that they must feel guilty for. Our people need to regain a sense of European and national pride; need to feel proud of their history and heritage and have strong patriotic feelings again. Once the enemies of European civilisation have been defeated we must ensure that the vile self-loathing reptiles of the Left never have the opportunity to spread the cancer of Cultural Marxism again.

    I am ashamed to say that there are some cases on a day to day basis whereby I hold my own tongue and/or I do NOT do something that I should do publicly (to challenge religious intolerance and false judgement by others), such intolerance as you will all know, is often found in ISLAM.

    This ‘self censorship’ of myself by myself, is due to fear for myself and my family, as I feel that I live in an area that very sadly has already “submitted” and to be publicly against totalitarian religion = danger for my family. This is a reality.

    So I AM NOT CHARLIE. I WANT to be and I will STRIVE to be. But sadly I am not “Je Suis Charlie”, YET. Not in REAL terms anyway. As a “gesture” to those brave people killed of course I am, but really, can I honestly say that I am “je Suis charlie? I don’t think so and it feels self absorbed to pretend I am.

    Charlie Hebdo journalists (and the likes of Robert Spencer and others) have the REAL bravery, the real balls, the REAL principals and they live them out in public every single day, under threat of death. Me? I am simply on my little keyboard, hiding behind my computer.

    From now on I will try to do better.

    The Charlie Hebdo cartoon is a dhimmi cartoon! Nobody notice that?!

    Muhammed drawn as a good compassionate man is worse by a long shot than not drawing Muhammed at all. Charlie Hebdo has surrendered into complete submission with this cartoon, and the so-called counter-jihadis don’t even notice, and in fact praise Charlie Hebdo for its dhimmi submission.

The Charlie Hebdo staff feel bemused by it all. They’re used to being a bit edgy and controversial, not for everyone, including politicians, Catholic priests etc, to be identifying with them.

You need to show Muhammed and Islam for what they are, Muhammed would have approved of the killing not condemn it, complete misunderstanding of Muhammed and Islam.

        ……………………………….

        John, the faked cartoons likely didn’t come from Denmark at all, but from Muslims from elsewhere. And one of them wasn’t even intended either as a cartoon or as a critique of Muhammed, but was just a posterized photo of a French clown at an agricultural fair—a bearded man wearing a pig nose. This was just claimed by Muslims to be one of the MoToons.

        But while these “stirred the pot” further, Muslims didn’t start killing purely because of the faked cartoons. Kurt Westergard, for instance, the cartoonist who drew Muhammed (or someone) with a bomb in his turban, has received scores of death threats, had to have the police install a “panic room” in his home, and was attacked by an axe-wielding Jihadist who broke into his home.

        Fake cartoons weren’t needed—just daring to say that Islam is violent an crushes free speech was enough.

      It’s still a dhimmi cartoon. As far as Malka is concerned, ok kudos to him, but whatever Mohammed cartoons they are going to publish in the future, has no bearing on the fact that this Mo’ cartoon is a dhimmi one. I wasn’t speaking about other cartoons, past and potentially future, of which none of us know their nature, and can only speculate.

        Muslims like to chant “Khybar, Khybar ya yahud ……” to recall the battle of Khybar and the slaughter of Jews.
        ——————————————–

        But, Muhammad was poisoned at Khybar and died a slow painful death until the poison eventually cut through and severed his aorta.

        Let’s imaging a cartoon:
        Instead of Khybar, Khybar ya yahud — (note – ‘yahud’ rhymes with food)
        Muhammad eating his meal while surrounded by his closest companions chanting a warning to Muhammad,
        “KHYBAR, KHYBAR POISONED FOOD”
        “

      • Jay Boo says

        Jan 13, 2015 at 10:53 am

        Maybe the choice of a word like dhimmi was unnecessary to make a point considering the circumstances.

          http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/01/charlie-hebdos-new-edition-includes-muhammad-cartoons/comment-page-1#comment-1178621

          I’ve also learned that “Charb” himself — Stéphane Charbonnier, one of the Charlie Hebdo journalists who had been with the serial since 1992 — had been shacking up for years with an Algerian Muslima named Jeannette Bougrab (no doubt he was convinced she was fully assimilated into French, and his (synonymous, of course 🙂 values). Many of us in the Counter-Jihad may not be fully aware how deepy intertwined with Muslims the lives of many Westerners have come to be. The West will learn the hard way that we can’t have our cake of multiculturalist assimilation and eat our safety & freedom too — as many, many more mass-murderous attacks like this one will continue to beset us in the coming decades, only metastasizing worse and worse, with attacks likely worse than 911 in the awful offing. The West has to learn to extricate itself from Muslims culturally and psychologically — and Muslims from the West forcibly (by physically shipping and shuttling them out); if, that is, it wants to prevent horrific violence by Mohammedans against its citizens.

    You are reading the wrong news sources. I live in France. There are no so-called ‘sharia-ruled’ no go areas. Even though there are some parts of some cities where you would not want to go out alone. Like everywhere.

    http://forward.com/articles/212292/why-charlie-hebdo-must-be-free-to-offend-all-ev/#ixzz3OhaFx0yV

    It looks like snopes.com (a questionable source?) has gotten into the debate:

    FALSE

    Examples: [Collected via e-mail, January 2015]

    On Fox and elsewhere it’s been reported that there are 751 “no go zones” in France where non-Muslims aren’t allowed and only Sharia law is enforced. Also, Dearborn, Michigan is rumored to be governed by Sharia law and (alternatively) is a “no go zone”.

    http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2006/11/the-751-no-go-zones-of-france

    Jan. 16, 2013 update: I had an opportunity today to travel at length to several banlieues (suburbs) around Paris, including Sarcelles, Val d’Oise, and Seine Saint Denis. This comes on the heels of having visited over the years the predominantly immigrant (and Muslim) areas of Brussels, Copenhagen, Malmö, Berlin, and Athens.

    A couple of observations:

    For a visiting American, these areas are very mild, even dull. We who know the Bronx and Detroit expect urban hell in Europe too, but there things look fine. The immigrant areas are hardly beautiful, but buildings are intact, greenery abounds, and order prevails.
    These are not full-fledged no-go zones but, as the French nomenclature accurately indicates, “sensitive urban zones.” In normal times, they are unthreatening, routine places. But they do unpredictably erupt, with car burnings, attacks on representatives of the state (including police), and riots.

    Having this first-hand experience, I regret having called these areas no-go zones.

      ……………………………….

      With respect, this is silly, wildjew. No one is claiming that France has *formally* ceded these areas to Muslim rule.

      But most of these zone *are* places where police, ambulances, and fire services will not go without extensive backup, and where routine policing has been largely abandoned.

      They are also areas where it is not safe for obvious Infidels to go—try walking down the street in a miniskirt or yarmulke and see how long you would last before being heckled or even assaulted.

      And Shari’ah law is not the official law of the land here, but “Shari’ah patrols” made up of free-lance Muslim thugs often patrol in these areas, threatening unveiled women and anyone drinking alcohol, and they are rarely stopped from doing so by *actual* French police.

      Things have gotten so bad in the neighboring Netherlands that Dutch police paid Shari’ah patrols for “keeping order” over the holidays, because it was too dangerous for Dutch police themselves to patrol. (Never mind that such patrols enforce Shari’ah norms, not civilized European law).

      And unofficial Shari’ah is commonly thought to be rife in these neighborhoods—everything from women being bullied into wearing Hijab and people being threatened over selling or purchasing alcohol to FGM, forced marriages, and Honor Killings happening and not being reported to French authorities.

      Personally, I find this all *extremely* alarming—but I guess some won’t consider this an issue until Muslims are openly flogging and stoning victims in the streets.

      I live in France and I would not call those a no go area, there are quite a few near me and I have been in a few of them, however they do have gangs of feral youths running around that can be very very violent, all my visits there were during the day and I did not feel threatened. Would I go there at night, nope.

      The issue is that there the police have to be careful, firemen are attacked as are emergency doctors, females that do not wear what the locals deem acceptable are hassled. In terms of Sharia law, it depends what you really mean by that, but in reality the control by French law and order is tenuous. The Sharia law that people talk about is the way the local Muslim community runs itself, and can include full on Islam down to nothing at all.

      They are called sensitive zones and that is exactly what they are.

It could have been better – I’d have liked to see the signature scenario with walloped jihadis flying right out of their sandals (and, indeed, their flapping robes) and Obelix collecting an armload of trophy turbans (rather than Roman helmets) but it was still pretty good. (And nice to see red-hot anger rather than tears and sentimentality).

          Its good to see people keeping up the fight and so many people have done an excellent job of saying it as it is, it is due to the hard work of the anti-jihad movement and many people who follow it that people seem to be getting it.

          2016 is going to be an important year, I just hope that our chicken shit governments have at least done something just in case, I have been particularly concerned over Turkey for many years, they now have the strongest military in Europe, add that to an open revolt in Europe and its just going to be bad.

    “The French Leftist newspaper Liberation reported on September 12, 1996, that three stalwarts of Charlie Hebdo (including Stephane ‘Charb’ Charbonnier) had campaigned in their magazine to collect more than 170,000 signatures for a petition calling for a ban on the French National Front party. They did this in the name of the ‘Rights of Man’.”

    Sharia Law and free speech…To capitulate or not to capitulate…that is the question.
    ‘The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam’…

    Gandhi countered…’To obey laws that are repugnant to your conscience, negates your manhood, opposes religion and means slavery’…

    Since sharia blasphemy laws include kuffar, I object, and I will refuse to obey that, or any like it coming from the UN or the US gov…The Rev Al-Sharpton, spiritual guide of Rasool Obama, said…’Resist we much[, and that is exactly what I am going to do…

    Good bye freedom of speech! Hello, Hypocrites! Who the fuck is Charlie?

    Paris: Joint statement : The ministers of the interior/ and or justice

    […] We are concerned at the increasingly frequent use of the Internet to fuel hatred and violence and signal our determination to ensure that the Internet is not abused to this end […]

    “With this in mind, the partnership of the major Internet providers is essential to create the conditions of a swift reporting of material that aims to incite hatred and terror and the condition of its removing, where appropriate and/or possible” …

    http://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/Kurzmeldungen/gemeinsame-erklaerung.pdf?__blob=publicationFile

    In other words, if a posting “incites hatred” it will be removed. “Hate speech” is in the eye of the beholder, and the one who is granted the power to determine what is or isn’t “hate speech” will have extraordinary control over the public discourse. We will have the supreme judges of all speech. If they agree with it, it’s free and acceptable; if not, it’s hate speech.

    […] the development of an EU communication strategy […]

    In other words, the government will tell the press what is allowed to publish …

    They are “Charlie” I guess … and the Islamists have won …

    There is an interesting point in this article, what if everyone spoke more truth as the result of these terrorists crimes instead of silencing freedom of speech? What would the terrorists do if everyone did the opposite of what they want when they terrorize people? Would they try to blow up the whole world? Or would they be the ones who were silenced? Just wondering….

      Muslims aren’t about to halt their 1,400-year-long desideratum to conquer the world for Allah and His Prophet, no matter what the Kuffar do. People (even among quite a few in the Counter-Jihad) have a habit of underestimating the depth of Mohammedan fanaticism and — closely related to this — to try to “explain” Mohammedan psychology & culture through some Western model (since, as we all know, human nature really follows Homo Occidentalis; right…?).

    How do Muslims even know that the rag-head in the cartoons is supposed to be Muhammad? I don’t see the character labeled with a name.

    @SAKOVKT

    “If we are fighting for the right to say stupid things, then we are not making a very good case for free speech.”

    We are absolutely fighting for the right to say “stupid things.” The enemies of freedom ALWAYS characterize truth as “stupid.”

    “After all the deaths, attacks and turmoil, are we finally going to war over some cartoons?”

    Yep. Do a little research on the cartoons of Hitler or Tojo or “The bloodthirsty Japs” or “The murderous Huns.” If you think that cartoons of the enemy are not very serious weapons of war, you are greatly mistaken.

    “One needs to be grown up to play grown up games like war.”
    “Onerous as it is to say, their concept of war is actually a lot more adult than ours has become.”

    Give me a break SAKOVT, there is NOTHING “grown up” about war. Are you going to tell me that murdering someone in a fit of rage over a cartoon that they created is “grown up?”

    War is the law of the unsupervised sand box, the rule of the schoolyard bully – there is absolutely nothing “grown up” about it, EVER.

    When the war is over, then the “grown ups” can restore proper order.

    Just a little perspective from one who has actually been in a war. Take care my friend.

    In the USA we are too afraid to show these caricatures/cartoons and to cal the perpetratorsl islamist terrorist . Obama administration does not want to ruffle Islamic feathers or liberal morons. This administration has surrendered to Terrorism.

    Thanks for your comment graven.

    Looks like things are heating up. I find it at the same time both exciting and sickening.

    Hope you and those you love are well, my friend.

      Dave, I think it’s about time for that graphic biography of the vile “Prophet”.

    False interpretations of Islam is the root cause of extremism. It is already a source of conflicts between sunnis and shites. Now the extremists has hijacked a “religion” to justify immoral acts of murders, isolationists and extremists teachings. In a nutshell, false ideologies derived from depraved minds as such extremists. Moderate Islam should ask themselves – Silence is not the answer to extremism.

    The graphic biography of Muhammad seems to grow more powerful with each passing day. Seems we are indeed “going to war over cartoons.”

    Well then, we should give them AUTHENTIC cartoons based on the Quran, Sirat and Hadith – by the truck load.

    And john, I have no idea where you popped in from, but in order not to be mistaken for an ignorant fool, you have a lot more reading to do, son.
