Cods if we refrained from publishing this, do you think that would satisfy the extremists?
they would have one less fire to flame...
you see I dont see the point of flaming this?> do you?
do you think it will make us stronger more POWERFUL.. do you think it will solve any more issues these madmen have??
if we keep flaming this?
i see it as a fireman putting petrol on the fire....
it will make it worse.....
AND FOR WHAT?
fd if you can give ONE good reason why this cartoon should go on.... I could change my opinion...
ONLY ONE mind...what good or benefit to the world did Charlies cartoon do?..
remember it enraged a lot of people....some very extreme......
do you think they had any right to be enraged???..
did you think the cartoon was provocative?..
can you tell me why withdrawing the cartoon.. makes us look cowards?
when you are looking in the eye of evil.....
would you just give him another poke just for the fun of it?...
I feel we are making HATE even worse....I have not seen one answer to how this cartoon made the world a better place...why it was worth 12 lives...
please tell me there was something worthwhile in all of this..
now we have France in terror...even Belgium...was it worth it???...printing that cartoon..
please give me a good reason to say it was..
