PARIS, Sept 18 (Reuters) - The French government has called for restraint after learning that a satirical weekly plans to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad on Wednesday just as an anti-Islam video has ignited Muslim protests around the globe.

The Paris offices of the paper, Charlie Hebdo, were firebombed last November after it published a mocking caricature of Mohammad, and in 2005 Danish cartoons of the Prophet sparked a wave of protests across the Muslim world in which at least 50 people were killed.

Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, asked about the publication, said any provocation now could only be condemned.

Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault issued a statement saying: "In the current climate, the prime minister wishes to stress his disapproval of all excess and calls on everyone to behave responsibly."

France is home to Europe's largest Muslim population. Calls are already circulating on social networks and the Internet for protests on Saturday over an anti-Islam film that was made with private funds in the United States and posted on the Internet.

Scared?

Why should I be scared? I don't live in Europe, plus I'd like to see the U.S. defense budget cut in half. It's the NaziCons who are afraid of their shadows...

I'm guessing they are sending a message to the radicals. They are saying 'fuck you' if you don't like our opinion. I wonder how many will ask them not to do that because we know the damn radical Muslims will be happy to have another excuse to murder. They love doing that and that is why they look so hard for the smallest reason to be offended. And the majority of Muslims sit there silently while the radicals lead them. I think the next terrorists who storm any embassy or start causing violence anywhere should be made examples of.

It is. Even the most vile people are protected.

 

[Lakhota]

I say let that newpaper protect itself.

 

[ScienceRocks]

O'well,

Islam needs to grow the fuck up and accept that most of the world will slam your religion.

Seriously, I can't fucking believe you leftist are doing this. I thought you were defenders of human expression?

 

[Lakhota]

Free speech is wonderful - so let the newspaper protect itself and its employees.

Funny how a religion(death cult) can kill people over speaking their minds. Yet you won't stand up for human expression? Instead you crap on us on the right that may or may not be slightly more traditional in our thinking.

It's so much easier when it doesn't want to cut your head off.

So, do you believe innocent people should risk their lives to help protect that asshole newpaper that is needlessly trying to inflame the Muslim world? This is no different than Terry Jones buring Qurans. Innocent people (police/firemen) and taxpapers should not be expected to defend such hatred.

It keeps you out of jail every time you insult someone.

Yet it is the progressives who are calling for appeasing the Muslims by prohibiting blasphemy.

 

[OKTexas]

It would be nice if papers would coordinate and keep the simple muslims pissed and in the streets unitl they die from exhaustion or give up which ever comes first.

Coward.

Something like islam should be outlawed within modern civilization. It seeks to destroy it.

Muslims probably feel much the same way about Christianity.
