Not saying that this necessarily justifies anything, but a lot of the content put out by Charlie Hebdo was just straight up racist and could not possibly be interpreted in any other way. The idea that all they did was mock religion got heavily pushed by the media after the attack, but it simply isn’t true.
They published racist comics, and I won’t defend that. The thing is they weren’t killed cause it was racist, they were killed because they published a depiction of Mohammed. I mean look at their depiction of Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit. If the characters depicted were brown, it would be racist too.
Yeah I just wanted to be abundantly clear that what I’m saying is not in anyway a defense of their racist comics, but more a condemnation of celebrating religious violence.

Oh, I definitely wouldn’t think you would! I just think it’s worth pointing out as there are still a lot of people who aren’t aware of it.
