I really couldn't have put it better if id tried....
To show solidarity with the French satirical magazine -- and with all who stand for freedom of speech and press -- what if next Wednesday every newspaper/magazine/website in the world changed its masthead for just one day to read: "CHARLIE HEBDO." The message would be loud and clear to those who seek to silence any voice: No one fears you, you are vastly outnumbered, and no one will back down. If you don't get the joke - or you don't like the joke - get over it, move on, or make your own satire. You don't like the West illegally invading Muslim countries? That's fertile ground for some devastating - and justified - satirical attacks. Yes, if you are invaded, you have the moral right to fight back and defend your home. But that offensive cartoon you didn't want anyone to see? Well, thanks to you, the number of people who've seen it now has expanded from the 60,000 who had read it in Charlie Hebdo, to the BILLIONS who've seen it in the past 24 hours. Nice work. The Prophet, I'm certain, isn't smiling.
Next Wednesday, CHARLIE HEBDO, everywhere.
