3 people critically injured and twelve people shot and killed at the offices of the newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, today. The newspaper was probably targeted for its content which was aimed at certain religious affiliations. In 2011, they had another "attack" for putting Muhammad into their newspaper article. The newspaper is getting into some risky behavior by belittling the Muslim religion and all. I know for certain that a magazine should know better than that, but they're the type of magazine that prints out satirical material (satirical meaning sarcastic, satiric, and mocking). French President Francois Hollande tweeted:
"Aucun acte barbare ne saura jamais éteindre la liberté de la presse. Nous sommes un pays unis qui saura réagir et faire bloc."
He basically said that their "barbaric act" will not stop France from having freedom of the press. He said that as a country they will react and protect. I guess it's similar to the United States putting out the movie, The Interview. Freedom of the press does exist so is Charlie Hebdo wrong for the article? Or is the Muslim community overacting to another county's thought of them?
Do you think this attack will increase the amount of satirical cartoons published about Muslims?
ReplyDeleteIf you do think it will increase what do you think the cartoons will be?
