2. Charlie Hebdo published such cartoons.
Sat Jan 10, 2015, 10:45 AM
Jan 2015

This one, aimed at radicals:


"It is hard to be loved by fools."

On the right it says "Muhammed overcome by dogmatists or fundamentalists"



This one shows Muhammed being decapitated by a headchopper who is calling him an infidel, while crying that he is the prophet. The top says "If Muhammed came back." This one refers to a novel direction in Islamist doctrine in which the violent wing is being taught that anyone who doesn't agree with their interpretation of doctrine is an apostate, and the penalty that is prescribed for that is death - that's why so many Muslims are being killed by other Muslims.
