Anarchist newspaper publishes cartoons of Muhammad in aftermath of "Innocence"
I'm interested to see what we all think now that a left-wing source is satirizing Islam, rather than the reactionaries behind "The Innocence of Muslims".

This definitely isn't an opportunist move to sell more of their shitty paper.
Freedom of the press dude! Muslims are so backward and sensitive, I can't believe they freak out about a picture! I expect the editors of that paper to have the same logic as the 13 year old petit bourgeois kids at my old high school.

Makes the left look like a bunch of tools.
The left are a bunch of tools, but no need to treat it like a formality.
Are you being serious?
Don't be such a fucking chauvinist. We need to look at this from a Marxist viewpoint.
The Arab world is under siege politically, culturally , economically, and in some places militarily by the international bourgeoisie even more so than in other parts of the world. In light of this, it should come as no surprise that they choose to take solace in religion. I think too many people forget the part that comes before the whole "opium of the people thing".
Guys, I think Broody was speaking in character as the anarchists in question.
Personally, I think major publications attacking a religion is much worse than some idiots making a shitty youtube video, insofar as disparagement of a religious community can lead to exploitation of or violence towards that community.

Don't be silly guys this is a great strategy of appealing to the Islamic community!
Guys! I was being sarcastic. I completely condemn anybody whose ignorant enough to insult millions of people who are fucked regularly by mercenary armies, sent by the government that rules the country i'm from.

Although on some level I sympathize with their contempt for sacred cows, the main critique of leftists should be how this is a quite reactionary act. Their mockery, aimed at working people who happen to be Muslim, and not so much at the like of the Saudi Wahabi hierarchy, perpetuates the right-wing narrative of "those superstitious musselmans who can't function in a secular, modern capitalist world". Far from speaking any sort of truth to power, it is an endorsement of a particular form of intolerance, unaccepting of pluralism and manifested in the Swiss minaret ban or the French ban on hijabs. That an ostensibly "anarchist" periodical should grovel like this to the talking points of the right tells you how "leftwing" the fools publishing that thing are.

I'm not familiar with this paper, but mohammed is not my prophet, and, as such, is not sacred to me. Fuck Islam, it doesn't deserve any special exceptions.
Put capitalism in a bag of rice.
You're kinda missing the point. If you put your faith into a single hope, and if you don't know any better since you have been investing all of your bad feelings into that single hope through your entire life, are uneducated, and other than your religeon you don't see a reason to live, and somebody shits on it by going against the core tenant of it, you would be pissed the fuck off.
In order to respect the poor people who don't know any better in the middle east and to make it so they don't go on a misguided jihad against white people who they see as their enemy, not their class enemy, but the only white people they've seen are capitalists and soldiers, it's imperative to make moronic petit bourgeois fuckheads stop aggrivating them.

One respects a person by patronising them?

No, nor me.
Nor mine.
I absolutely agree.
Well, quite, so are you going to be protesting that they haven't published any cartoons mocking Jesus (after all they are publishing in a largely Christian, though officially secular, country)? Publishing these cartoons about a minority religion makes Islam an exception. Which you think it doesn't deserve.

Lucius Accius (170 BC - 86 BC): "A man whose life has been dishonorable is not entitled to escape disgrace in death."
Telling people not to offend sensitive people is hardly patronizing. It's called respect. These people don't know any differently, and have a very limited world view due to their life situation, which is based on survival. To them, Islam is what allows them to survive in the environment they were born in. It's not like anything anybody from the U.K. or U.S. can truly understand. However take the poorest, most catholic Mexican person and tell them that their religion is a lie, and see what happens. Fanaticism is hardly unique to middle eastern people. That quality is simply drawn out more by the bourgeois press, and you are helping the bourgeoisie wage the wars if you repeat these disasters, as a way of dehumanizing people in the eyes of people who aren't as desperately religious, whom can't understand the psyche of say a palestinian or an Iraqui who have to live through the daily hell called life.

It says they re-printed the danish caricatures as well, who was incidentally racist as fuck, completely on par with Der Ewige Jude. So yeah, fuck those guys.
The Douche: So how would you feel about anti-latino racism covered up in anti-catholic clothing? After all you're not a catholic either right? There's a bigger context here.

I'm for freedom of expression and all, but this is just a cynical exploitation of current events to get attention. Honestly, don't they have anything else better to do? Like anarchy?
Is 10 minutes fame and some easy euro worth all this? Hopefully they'll put that towards something constructive, but something tells me they won't.
