Cartoonist - who escaped Paris because he overslept - breaks down as he defends decision to draw image of weeping Prophet Muhammad on next edition's front cover

"Mr Luzier, who escaped the massacre because he had overslept by half an hour, described crying after he drew the picture.
He said: 'We are cartoonists and we like drawing little characters, just as we were as children.
'The terrorists, they were kids, they drew just like we did, just like all children do.
'At one point, they lost their sense of humour. At one point, they lost the soul of their child which allowed them to look at the world with a certain distance.'
He added: 'I'm sorry we've drawn him yet again, but the Mohammad we've drawn is just a little guy who's crying.' "

I applaud that statement - IF ONLY the Muslims could see the "Prophet" as the man he was, instead of making him into a little god. I believe the drawing of the Prophet weeping makes a statement, a very true one. Jesus also wept.
 
In the wake of the devastating terrorist attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo that resulted in the deaths of 12 people, CNN, along with other news outlets, has chosen to censor the controversial cartoons that ran in the magazine.

Other news outlets, including the New York Daily News, the Telegraph and the Associated Press, have also chosen not to show the cartoons in full.


These news organizations can not be trusted (imo) because they are selecting what we see and read.
 
Saudi scholar softens fatwa over snowmen

<snip> &#8220;The model should be like the scarecrow with no features sculpted into the face that is used by farmers to scare away birds,&#8221; he posted on his account late on Monday. &#8220;It could also be similar to some shapes that are used to warn people about roadworks."

<snip> &#8220;The ban, condoned by religious scholars, also covers models of people and animals made of sweets and paste, not just snow, if their facial features are clearly sculpted,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This means that if the model has no head or the facial features are obliterated, then there is no ban on it,&#8221; he said.

What about a snowman in the image of the prophet .. seems like the perfect cover for next week's Charlie Hebdo.

I wonder does someone make this chit up as they go, cause it seems these people are looking for a fight. jmo This being offended is over the top. jmo
 
I hope this isn't too off topic and it's ok to link, but I thought in the midst of something so awful, and as loons continue to issue fatwas over something as joyful and universal as a snowman, this might be in order. It's an expression of the fact that there are governments and politics and religions and cultures and terrorists and violence in this world, and then there are just plain people who aren't that different.

My thoughts are with France and its people. May you dance!
