"Many people didn't get the ones mocking the refugee crisis.
Go ahead and mock the bombing campaign, but use the dead as your ammunition for it is way too far."
Which is the exact point, its what it says about the people that don't get it rather than those that do. That is exactly what good satire does. That's why Brass Eye was so good.
In terms of the russian one, the point they are making in that one is that they are treating the russian passengers in the exact way they feel the Russians (and everyone else bombing) are using Syrians in seeing civilians as collateral damage.
They are not mocking anyone as such, they are sticking exactly to their beliefs, which is that every life should be treated the same.
You and I might not agree with their approach, but it does exactly what it is designed to do, which is to provoke thought. There is validity to the message they are trying to put across. They did the exact same with their own staff that were killed.

Cheered on by hamas,they want to start the idf killing machine,in order to say poor Palestinian victim's,even though innocent kids,women and men are being stabbed and driven at by cars,by brainwashed muslim youth.
The hamas and idf are guilty in this,and a two state solution,with mutual respect is the answer,imo.
daesh want wipe out hamas and Hezbollah,but that is complex,and does not fit the west to blame game.

I can't believe what I'm reading here, it's a fvcking magazine, don't want to be offended? don't read it
Don't want to be stung? don't put your hand in a hornets nest
Don't want your head bitten off? don't put it in a lions mouth
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't want to be killed by Islamic extremists, don't mock their God in a cartoon......
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So the murders were justified?
If you don't believe the same as them you deserve to die?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the hell did you pluck that response from?
It's a stupid question, which doesn't deserve an answer.
They knew what they were publishing would offend Islam, they knew it would offend extremists. If they hadn't, would they have been targeted?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That doesn't justify the murder, end of. It's not an excuse.
The comics are there for people to read and enjoy, no offend. They don't promote anything dangerous. Offensive to believers, yes, but surely as a Muslim it's your duty not to take notice?
And they did do jokes about their mates, in particular the hypocritical martydom that was bestowed on them in their deaths.

Such a weird thing reading this and wondering why Je Suis didn't do satire of their dead colleagues as if that would make some people take them more seriously.
Um, their mates died in the same office in them. I'm sure we can forgive them for not doing jokes about something so very close to home.
Problem is that some people are far too easily acting outraged about something that really doesn't matter in the scheme of things. Don't like what the magazine is writing? Don't buy it. Or read it.
Some of the best and most influential comedians have made jokes about things that at the time were hugely taboo. We need to just live and let live
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So don't mock your mates deaths but mock everyone elses knowing how it must hurt them?

Just seen a Palestinian woman has attempted to stab an Israeli guard. Anyone see that?

It's the sound of crickets from those who have "free Palestine" or whatever in their user name.

All of this seems to be the classic argument of the darker side of comedy..
Is it too soon to make a joke about?
Is it funny?
The answer to either can only be given by the reader/viewer

Sad to see the removal of Christianity from the middle east,and areas such as Afghanistan.
Where it all began,is now no-go for us followers of the cross,and not only muslim extremists are etnic cleansing in the holy land.
Extremist jewsih youth are attacking churches in the birthplace of Christ,just as daesh do,but with slogans.rather than guns and knives,mostly.

It explains why they were targeted though. Obviously they wouldn't expect to be targeted, but given the feckedd up world we live in, it's naive to think that.
And I think you'd be ignoring a lot of history, if you seriously thought that all muslims would ignore it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree with this statement to a point. More people should get involved with politics and exercise their right to free speech. Nobody wants to talk about controversial topics because many are scared to offend.
I dialogue needs to happen around sensitive topics otherwise nothing gets resolved. However, that doesn't mean throw political correctness out the window when it comes to policy just because it's easier to sweep the mess under the carpet.
