They're extremist atheists. Pretending they only were intolerant of perverted beliefs of extremists or the intolerant beliefs from "church" leaders means you haven't paid one wit of attention to what CH has been doing for years under the guise of satire.

We've seen plenty of examples right here in post after post after post of people cheering on their intolerance of those that believe in an "invisible sky being". There are PLENTY of examples of their cartoons that are unquestionably not only intolerant of people that hold the belief in god/s but are also racist and disgusting in the extreme.

Just one example: This is their front page after Boko Haram's kidnapping of hundreds of girls and women almost none of whom have been found most being sold into sex slavery...



The rough translation in the cartoon "bubble" is "Don't touch our welfare checks".
The line right above it roughly translates to "The sex slaves of Boko Haram are angry".

Explain to me how this is not only not racist but utterly disgusting filth that practically cheers on what Boko Haram did and while DU has been almost totally ignoring that Boko Haram just days ago slaughtered thousands of people in Nigeria and torched their villages? Do you even recall what Boko Haram is?

Do a search on CH's cartoons and there are countless examples of equally despicable "satire" that goes so far beyond intolerance to vomitus evil.

And your post is a perfect example of exactly what my OP was about. All that is cared about is Charlie Hebdo completely ignoring the attack on the people in Hyper Cacher and completely ignoring what CH's has been doing for years producing reams of evil filth as the example I gave which I'm sure DU will either ignore or fall all over themselves attempting to "explain".


*On Edit: A million apologies for having to post the cartoon here since despite best efforts there doesn't seem to a be a way to provide the link without DU automatically putting the cartoon itself in the post. But since the majority of posters want the cartoons spread around anyway I suppose it makes sense to show one of the utterly vile ones.
