I'm contradicting myself because I agree with your post Galaxy about censorship being subjective and applying such a rationale flies in the face of all that we hold dear about free speech in a democracy. On the other hand it seems that Charlie Hebdo's raison d'etre is to offend anyone and everyone, of course their targets should be able to suck that up, clearly some can't. It's not as if they, the publication/publishers don't know the reactions they may elicit some quarters, any loss of life hardly seems worth it to me. Having said that, I disagree with myself because we shouldn't have to adapt to appease crazed religious maniacs.
Yes, I can see both sides too.
I was wondering the other day, if the teacher ( later murdered) could have given his lesson without showing his class the actual cartoons.Talked about them, and what they represented perhaps? The school has many muslim pupils.
In a perfect world all sorts of things could and should be allowed, but it isn’t is it?
