Does anyone know if the charlie hebdo magazine is going to be published in England tomorrow?

I bought a copy of the Satanic Verses back when they were trying to kill him so feel I should get this one too.

Of course it doesn't make any difference at all it just makes me feel as if I'm doing something.

Would this be the first well-publicised time someone who has been retaliated against by Muslims over a cartoon/etc has continued on the 'attack' with public support?

I'm not sure if this will be seen as a great idea, my fear is we'll be back in the bad old days when the IRA was active. There are rather a lot of extreme Muslims.

There are also a lot of people who consider themselves extreme 'Judeo-Christian' although they're not really and we have to be careful about them as they're the ones who will, and in fact already have, retaliate using the same tools and arguments as the people they're against...

...I bought a copy of the Satanic Verses back when they were trying to kill him ...

I did that, but I regretted it because it wasn't very good.

(The Satanic verses are verses that Mohammed apparently had given to him, that he later discovered where actually not from the angel, but from Satan, and so are omitted from the Koran. Rushdie speculated that maybe Mohammed mixed them up - so the verses that were excluded may have been really from Allah, and those that now make up the Koran are, in fact, Satanic).

We have a moral duty to satirise all religion and that includes Islam.

I know you're from Germany but the Salvation Army isn't a real army. Sleep easy.
