Kremlin slams Charlie Hebdo cartoons on Egypt plane crash as 'sacrilege'

Je ne suis pas Charlie

Russia is right.

Crude, insensitive and distasteful but given the choice of the government interfering in the free press and this, I'll take crude, insensitive and distasteful. Tell the bullying thug Putin to shove it.

Another example of how this magazine doesn't victimize a particular group - everyone gets it.

Spare us the crocodile tears bush you were swift to use the tragedy for your own chest pounding propaganda.

Charlie Hebdo is a rag, it always was. They brought the MadBeard attack upon themselves and open further wounds with this crap.

On the contrary Jimizo, it's this kind of abuse of freedom of speech that will end up with the government sticking its' oar in. Charlie Hebdo should STFU on a permanent basis.

"Russia is right."

No, Charlie is right. The Russian people will be paying for Putin's clumsy and shortsighted policies in the Middle East in blood. Someone needs to say this, if even if offends the Kremlin.

When a bunch of CH clowns was killed in Paris this January, Russians expressed condolence and symphaty to this rag. Now CH returned s...t for good feelings. What a pity in January jihadists did not get them all.

'Sacrilege' is an malapropism in this case because this mass murder has nothing to do with religion. (It might be a mistranslation.) There are some things that should not to be made fun of. I think the reader can think of examples without my having to name them.

'everyone gets it.'

'Yup, even a grieving child who lost their mother.

Real comedians those guys.'

I don't like these particular cartoons and I said it but they have the right to do it. I also wanted to point out how certain people start bleating on about this magazine singling them out. They don't.

Heheheh, if that was an American plane, ya guys would be praising Charlie Hebdo

@JeffLee

Putin's clumsy and shortsighted policies in the Middle East

A month of very effective air strikes, retreating ISIS you call clumsy. And then how the US Middle East policy of all recent years can be described?

@Madverts

Gutter press shock tactics for relevance aren't worth getting upset about

Basically, I can agree with you here. I know that the lowlifes of CH crave after any publicity, even scandalous. I just thought that even in this rag there were some remnants of conscience or something like that.

I just thought that even in this rag there were some remnants of conscience or something like that.

Nah, they're probably about to go bust again so need the scandal. As a self-proclaimed "irresponsible" production they should be ignored where possible IMO.

Agree with both Jimizo and Madverts.

Making fun of tragedy is despicable, but it's the unfortunate price we pay for freedom of speech; not Putin's speciality by all accounts....

I haven't seen the cartoons, so I can't comment on this specific set of complaints, but if someone wants to make distasteful comments/cartoons they should be able to. And the rest of us should ignore them and not buy their magazine if we don't want them to make these cartoons. Killing them, or banning them, is not the way to go.

The Russian people will be paying for Putin's clumsy and shortsighted policies in the Middle East in blood. Someone needs to say this, if even if offends the Kremlin.

No, Putin is the only one to really fight terrorism, Obama supports terrorism while pretending to fight it. Charlie people are sick, and so are their customers.

Another example of how this magazine doesn't victimize a particular group - everyone gets it.

No, not everyone. One group never gets attacked. If they did, they would be shut down and probably jailed.

It is a tacky cartoon, but people should be allowed to do tacky cartoons. There accepted ways to protest them. Notice that Putin did not say the cartoonists should be murdered. That reaction is reserved for a certain religion.

That reaction is reserved for a certain religion.

I'm not sure the Russians on this thread calling for their deaths are your hated Muslims, Willi.

For ONCE, and likely ONLY ONCE; I will COMPLETELY AGREE with " Burning Bush ".

@Burning Bush

"....if these guys made fun of my child's suffering...."

I missed that. Where and how do they ridicule a child's "suffering"? Nothing of the sort is mentioned in the article, nor are any children shown the cartoons, and you've mentioned children a few time on this thread.

Do you have an explanation or are you hallucinating?

Madverts:

" I'm not sure the Russians on this thread calling for their deaths are your hated Muslims, "

I did not see any "Russians on this thread calling for their deaths", where are they? Anyway, I was referring to the Kremlin comment. Yes, the article was tacky, but you have a right to be tacky in society with free speech. Did the Kremlin issue a death fatwah? Where, when?

For a supposed masculine autocrat, Putin does seem to be weep like a child quite often. Putin is making the same whines as the Islamic extremists who attacked Charlie Hebdo - sheep of the same flock

dcog:

" Putin is making the same whines as the Islamic extremists who attacked Charlie Hebdo - sheep of the same flock "

Seriously? The Islamists called for murder of Charlie Hedbo and finally carried out the same. Putin simply complains verbally, which is his right. And that is the SAME for you? On what planet?
