French Weekly Fuels Mohammad Row With Nude Cartoons

PARIS (Reuters) - A French magazine ridiculed the Prophet Mohammad on Wednesday by portraying him naked in cartoons, threatening to fuel the anger of Muslims around the world who are already incensed by a film depicting him as a womanizing buffoon.

The French government, which had urged the magazine not to print the images, said it was temporarily shutting down premises including embassies and schools in 20 countries on Friday, when protests sometimes break out after Muslim prayers.

Riot police were deployed to protect the Paris offices of satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo after it hit the news stands with a cover showing an Orthodox Jew pushing the turbaned figure of Mohammad in a wheelchair. On the inside pages, several caricatures of the Prophet showed him naked.

The picture doesn't have to be of anything perverted. Any picture Mohammed is haram.

Obama built this. When you try and lie your way out of a problem one thing leads to another. Obama and his phatom movie are now responsible for every nutjob that is going to take advantage of the situation and the insults to Islam are going to become rampant.

The French have their issues, but liberty of thought is, and has been, a French instituion. And the French, who have had their fill of the Islamist "invasion", where muslims take over entire parts of towns and cities and institute their own rules and laws, have struck back. We are under the same "invasion" (google muslims in michigan), but can't talk about it, because then, we'd be racists. Bigots. Rednecks. We'd also be Amercians telling the truth, but THAT sems to be going out of style...
