Yet another typical French reaction
The French, like always, showed no backbone fighting for their freedom of speech. Instead of explaining to the Arab World that Europe is, still, part of the west and respect freedom. The Arab should learn that if they don’t like some cartoons they are free not to read them.
It is ironic to read the Franch Soir editorial (Via CNN Report ) from few days ago:
The front page of France Soir on Wednesday carried the headline “Yes, We Have the Right to Caricature God” and a cartoon of Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim and Christian gods floating on a cloud.
The tabloid staunchly defended its right to print the cartoons.
“The best way to fight censorship is not to let it happen,” it wrote in an editorial. “In these circumstances, that meant publishing these drawings.”
“Imagine a society that added up all the prohibitions of different religions. What would remain of the freedom to think, to speak and even to come and go?" the paper wrote.
I guess the French don’t need to imagine any more…
