More Criminals Than a Mafia Funeral
I am not Charlie, nor will I ever be. Wearing a Je suis Charlie badge is one sure way of getting attention, but I will leave that to others. And another thing: Obscenity has no redeeming social value, and Charlie Hebdo was and is one long obscenity.
But let’s start with that famous Parisian march of mourners, one that had more criminals in its front row than a Mafia funeral. How is it possible that the gangster who calls himself the Emir of Qatar went marching and pretending to honor the dead journalists when it is he who is the main financier of the jihadists in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and Libya? Why was Netanyahu on the front row, when it is he and his fellow zealots who killed more than 500 innocent Gazan children among more than 1500 civilian dead last summer and bragged about it afterward while pretending to be victims? Why did Angela Merkel bother to march when on that same morning she was accusing Germans who wish to control Muslim immigration that they “have hate in their hearts”? If this were a movie, people would laugh it off the screen.
Last but not least, how can a government be taken seriously when it invites so many gangsters but does not allow the leader of one of the largest French parties to attend—incidentally the only French party that has opposed the Islamization of France since its conception—the National Front?
Mind you, what I’m about to say has cost some commentators their jobs, but for some strange reason I don’t think it will cost me mine. Charlie Hebdo was and is a poor excuse for a magazine—a vicious, coarse, and cruel libel machine that treats religion as a form of deviance. Showing the Pope holding a condom above his head and intoning the Eucharist—“This is my body”—could have got the magazine firebombed but didn’t, as we Christians have become used to insults.
