THE IDIOT STAFF CANNOT INSULT ISLAM LIKE THAT It has already been done, it was unanimous decision. Technically its the contributors whose decision was put forth, as for there were disagreements between the administration. They were just trying to get killed, They knew this wouldn't go unoticed So, you're supporting terrorists ? You can get arrested for that if you live in the United States you know. Probably in every other western country as well. . . Which really is limiting free speech, too, right? I mean, there has to be a point where speech becomes criminal, but I say leave it to a libel lawsuit for anything short of hate speech.

I feel that BOSS8 for his own sake needs to clarify if he's supporting the terrorists or opposing the Je suis Charlie movement, because there's obviously a big difference, because while it's always perfectly fine to oppose a slogan, it's never okay to support terrorists. Exactly. I would also like to add that one can support Je Suis Charlie without necessarily agreeing with Charlie Hebdo's sentiments. I personally take no offence to Charlie Hebdo's work, but I know many individuals who support the "Je Suis Charlie" movement even though they have been offended by the cartoons, mainly because they are decent people who believe in free speech and who believe that no one should be killed over a piece of satire.

Contrary to what BOSS8 has said, supporting "Je Suis Charlie" does not mean you are disparaging Islam or disparaging any religion at all. It all comes down to the issue of free speech and the belief that innocent people shouldn't die because of their artwork.
