Charlie Hebdo to Stop Cartoons of Muhammed

HOLY CARP!!!
The top editor and publisher of Charlie Hebdo, the satirical French newspaper that suffered a deadly terrorist attack in January, said the publication would no longer draw the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad that have garnered it worldwide notoriety.

"We have drawn Muhammad to defend the principle that one can draw whatever one wants," said Laurent Sourisseau, in an interview this week with Stern, a German magazine.

But Sourisseau, who goes by the cartoonist nickname "Riss," said that it was not Charlie Hebdo's intent to be "possessed" by its critique of Islam. "The mistakes you could blame Islam for can be found in other religions," he said.

For the most part they have proved their point anyway.

There is really little else that can be said about it, you are right.

I'd agree too.

Does the US have anything similar to Hebdo?



The UK has Private Eye of course, small circulation but highly amusing:
