Charlie Hebdo, Don't pretend your new issue does not disrespect Islam

147. Sinet never conceded that, and far from being clearly anti-semitic or even ambiguous,

the expression "he'll go a long way in life" is very open to interpretation.

But for the sake of this argument, let's everyone say that it WAS anti-semitic to say of Sarkozy's son that 'he'll go a long way in life'. If an employee can be sacked for that, then in light of the extremely bigoted depictions of muslims and Mohammed which were done with complete impunity, there can be no question whatsoever that a double standard is being applied, in which a bigoted remark about Judaism is grounds for termination but a bigoted remark about Islam is rewarded with publication on the cover. To me, there can be no question that they have a double standard.

This still does not rationalize or justify violence, and IMO, no speech (that I can think of at the moment) ever does warrant violent reaction.
