I'm not upset at all.

I thought that The Treachery of Images would have made that quite clear:



I couldn't care less what Pickering draws.

Pickering is just cashing in, he doesnt even have the guts to defame islam appropriately. On another note, the hebdo mag looks like selling 8 million copies this month. their circulation was 60,000 last week.

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

If I was drawing up a list of the most morally repugnant people, Holocaust deniers would be right up there, probably in the top three. These pathetic individuals possess all the worst traits of the modern era. They’re anti-intellectual, cynically insulating themselves from truth and proven fact. They’re paranoid, being convinced that a conspiracy of dastardly Jews invented a great crime in order to make money and create Israel. And, of course, they’re hateful, being fuelled by the oldest of prejudices, anti-Semitism. They try to doll up their truth-distorting project as a “radical” or “revisionist” take on the events of the 20th century, but it doesn’t take much scratching to discover that behind every expression of doubt that the Holocaust occurred there lurks someone who simply fears and loathes the Jews.
So, should we ban them? They seem ideal candidates for censorship. What they say and publish has absolutely no historical or moral worth. It is factually incorrect, it is often deeply disturbing, and it is upsetting to those who survived the Holocaust or whose forebears perished in it. I would wager that the vast majority of humankind would not miss the outpourings of these scoundrels if they were to be expunged from public life.
Should we expunge them, then? No. Never. Holocaust denial might be a highly immoral enterprise, but to ban it would be a grave moral error, too, since it would send the message that we, the huge majority of humanity that knows the Holocaust occurred, have something to hide, and that Truth is incapable of winning a war of words and wits against Falsehood.

Just so.

I really don't know how that relates to free speech.

What's the bet that the cops haven't contacted Pickering at all and he's simply using the froggy thing to self promote?

He's not known for his honesty.
