I am Charlie do people realize this implies YOU, yes you too can be a target for posting your honest opinion online.

So when people try to point out that Charlie Hebdo antagonises the Muslim religion by posting a satire, they might want to try and think carefully before they make such outlandish statement as you too can be targeted by these extremist/radicals for posting an opinion online.

All of us should stand up against anyone that will use violence to intimidate you from expressing your given right, with the exception of hate speech ofcourse. I am against these cowards and anyone that tries to imply that they were goaded into taking such heinous action should be ashamed of themselves.

We all know what it was like during the Bush era with "watch what you say" and enemies lists and total surveillance, so we've all been there. Even now journalists have a lot restrictions on what they can say.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
