The Paris killings: who are the real heroes of press freedom? : Comments
By Jamil Flores, published 15/1/2015But I can’t say, 'I am Charlie Hebdo.' That would be a travesty of the work of Steven Sotloff and James Foley, the journalists beheaded last year by the Islamic State.

@ Arjay
<<Erdogan the Turkish leader says the West was behind the Charlie Hebdo >> No big surprise. Erdogan --like a couple of others on an earlier thread -- holds firm to the position that Islam can do no wrong. He also no doubt believes the Armenian genocides are a Western concoction and the crusades were an evil invasion of a peace loving Muslim community. Posted by SPQR, Friday, 16 January 2015 6:29:06 AM

Hal,
Yes, that was my point: that there are already laws against incitement to violence, and anti-defamation laws against slander and libel. I believe truth is a defence against slander, or it should be. As for slandering a psychopath, here's one: Aisha goes in to see Muhammad, dressed in little fairy wings and with a suicide vest strapped around her waist. Mohammad says, "What are you dressed as ?" She replies, "I'm your blow-up sex-toy." Busted myself ! Yes, CH pushed the boundaries of free speech, but I don't see that they ever incited violence. Ridicule of outmoded ideas, and of the mind-set which exposes the incapacity to discuss, criticise or modify any of those outmoded beliefs, but not incitement. Perhaps you can give examples ? Totalitarians of the world unite, ay, Hal ? Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Friday, 16 January 2015 7:26:40 AM

Crowie,
The people at Charlie Hebdo weren't morons but the European elite are hypocrites, the successors of the people who hanged Julius Streicher now defend Charlie Hebdo? Seriously?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw5i-TVjTMg It's Burning Afraid of the truth Fear of (making a bad) appearance Everything is too large All is so comfortless Fear of the insanity That has reawakened The fiery zealotry that has been rekindled All is too bright All is too fast Too high the horse On which we’re sitting Too deadly the poison In harmless points Too small is our courage Too big is the yearning Too hard is the fight So easy the flight So lazy of mind Too weak of will We silence ourselves dead silence Because no wall protects us Because all the talk doesn’t do anything When a people is resigned And a former power reasserts itself The East is burning Tell me don’t you see the fire front on the horizon The East is burning Our land of plenty is burned it burns Fear of Freedom Fear of duty above all, what is strange Fear of renunciation Too rotten is the wood in the ruins Too powerful the desire To serve the lie No fortress protect If everything is useless talk When a nation shuts up And bows down to barbarians The East is burning Tell me you do not see the fire front on the horizon The East is burning Our land of plenty is burned it burns The East is here The East is us The East is burning (The East is here) The East is burning (The East we are) Tell me you do not see the fire front on the horizon The East is burning (The East is here) The East is burning (The East we are) Our land of plenty is burned it burns Posted by Jay Of Melbourne, Friday, 16 January 2015 11:31:01 AM
