clearvision Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Reuters:The headquarters of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo were gutted on Wednesday by what its editor said was a firebomb, after it put an image of the Prophet Mohammed on its cover.This week's edition shows a cartoon of Mohammed and a speech bubble with the words: "100 lashes if you don't die of laughter." It has the headline "Charia Hebdo," in a reference to Muslim sharia law, and says Mohammed guest-edited the issue.Charlie Hebdo's website on Wednesday appeared to have been hacked and showed images of a mosque with the message "no god but allah."Many Muslims find any depiction of Mohammed offensive. Danish cartoons in 2005 sparked protests in the Muslim world in which at least 50 people were killed. Protests in April against an American pastor's burning of the Koran led to unrest in Afghanistan in which several died.A police source stopped short of blaming the blaze at the Paris magazine offices on a firebomb and said it happened around 1 a.m. (midnight GMT), adding that no one had been injured.

SrWoodchuck Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 No humor in Islam. At least they didn't portray Mohammad as a judge in the 2012 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show......or working as a women's shoe salesman.......or grilling Johnsonville Brat's........
