Re: That is worthy of a reply. (none / 0)

How odd that you focus so much on that magazine and the arson. What about the day when the "burqa" ban came into force and there was the hunt on women with headscarves? I'll never forget the horror of my twitter timeline of that day. But then, it was only women who got attacked, not a building.

Charlie Hebdo (none / 0)

has poured ridicule on the wearing of burqas, (and a feminist columnist described the burqa as "social death for women")

But they didn't advocat a ban on burqas, as far as I can remember. That was legislated by Sarkozy's government.

Well, after all, "that magazine" is the subject of this thread. How odd that you should keep trying to assimilate it with right-wing governmental provocations against Muslims.
