Brenus at his best - he can't even read what is written a line above his indignation. Did I say "just killed?" I said "just admired", underscoring that the only crime committed by the comedian was admiration of some unworthy person. Why, Putin admired Goebbels to the face of a bunch of jews and it didn't move you to any righteous anger.
Until a court officially declares someone guilty one can't call him that. Has the court passed any verdict? No? Then he is still a suspect. Learn the rules of democracy.
If I just express a racist opinion and get fired - is it lawful? I mean I didn't call anyone to hurt anyone.
In effect we see that Charlie Ebdo by doggedly continuing to insult religious sentiment of muslims incites violence against christians and the French all over the muslim world.
And here comes an interesting question of limits on the freedom of speech:
a publication (by its indiscreet policy and flagrant abuse of the freedom of speech) causes damage to the image and/or economy of the country it represents. Should the government of this country limit the publication's activity? For example, if after the growing exasperation and demands from angry mobs the government of, say, Pakistan decides to call off (or not to sign) some contracts with France which will result in loss of jobs in France, should the finacial loss be recovered from the sky-rocketing revenues of the said publication?
