French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, who lost 10 of their staff members last week Wednesday Jan. 7th in a terror attack, unveiled the cover of their new edition today January 13th which has a drawing of a weeping Prophet Muhammad holding up a sign that reads “Je suis Charlie.”, with tagline “all is forgiven,” but I noticed that most international media houses, including CNN, Daily Mail, BBC, Mirror and more refused to carry the cover but talked about the issue..
Because them no carry am, me sef I fear to carry am..lol. But why though? Why are they all reluctant to carry it? Meanwhile, the mag said they are planning to release 3million copies of the new issue. Readers of Mail Online, BBC and others are blasting them for refusing to carry the cover. See some of their comments after the cut...
"Never thought I would see the day when the French are heroes and the BBC and Daily Mail are trembling like little girls."
"DM why on earth have you not posted the cover yet? You're not usually the ones afraid to tell it like it is."
"DM is a disgrace - where's the cover?"
"So where is it? Gutless lot......."
"The daily mail is either pandering to the politically correct for fear
of causing offence, or, it's running scared and has been BEATEN by the
terrorists. Which is it?"
"Just like the politicians, lots of words no actions. When marching the
other day it would have been better if they had all marched holding up
posters of Charlie Hebdo's cartoons. Now that's standing shoulder to
shoulder! DM publish you cowards."
"You've published the article without the picture that the article is about. Not very Je Suis Charlie. Shame on you."
"Go look at The Guardian, a paper with the guts to print it."
"It will be interesting to see if any UK news media, has the guts to show
what they (CHARLIE) print on Wednesday, or will it be a case of not in
our back yard.
Cameron talked about free speech, lets see."
"The Guardian has 10 times the guts of the DM - the Charlie Hebdo cover is on the front page."
"No paper will show the cartoon in this country, every one is too afraid
of reprisals. In this respect the terrorist have won.// Absolute
rubbish, the picture is on the front page of The Guardian."
For fear of being attacked agn. Linda take note!

No one on earth knows what the prophet Muhammad looks like. This is exercise in futility.
DeleteIt is important to respect other people's sensibilities. Can you call a black person a nigger? or call a blonde dumb without a back lash.
I am a Muslim against these terrorist acts. But I am also unable to fathom the warped thinking of the people who made those comments.

Fear
ReplyDeleteLinda sitdown look,na be dog name
ReplyDeleteThe same reason as yours. "Fear"
ReplyDeleteWe have advocates and we have people who refuse to be cowed.
ReplyDeleteYou do not support the killing of innocents, but knowing that you are dealing with people who can be irrational....why stick your neck out!
I live outside Nigeria and I would like to place an order for a copy, but I wouldn't because I don't want to put my life and my family at risk.
Dey no want mk isis blast them
ReplyDeleteBcos it irrelevant to them...
ReplyDeleteNo value attached to it as far as they r concern.
This my own personal opinion bcos they knw better.
Kai, your stupidity knows no end. Am so sorry, but do u even think before u type?
DeleteIt is well
ReplyDeleteAnything that will cause more havoc should be avoided. We want peace.
ReplyDeleteShalom to Nigeria. Amen!!!
They r afraid 9/11 might repeat itself again. Nawah o.
DeleteYou want to be attacked? Nobody wants to be gunned down while trying to make a living because someone perceives that you have somehow insulted their religion because you are seen to support something they feels errs their god! Biko better safe than sorry,

ReplyDeleteIts degrading to Muslims na.its nt right dey should nt carry it abeg
ReplyDeleteIdealess fans
ReplyDeleteLooool them dey fear for their heads nau and its good you follow soot oooooo. If u no wan gbege
ReplyDeleteBecause it is against the Muslim religion to draw the picture of their prophet. The simple act of drawing a person representing him is forbidden talk less of drawing insulting images of him. That is why the responsible media houses don't do it and they won't endorse anyone who does. Charlie Hebdo is a satirical magazine and their goal is to provoke, it is extremely sad what happened there but their drawings are not innocent.
ReplyDeleteLin, u follow dey fear? Make dem no come bomb ur blog (again). Lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a wise decision not to, it's not about cowardice but it's not right to mock other people's religion or beliefs. There so many other things they have published. So said they died but still right is right and wrong is wrong!

1 million copies l heard in my own version off CNN oh. Whoever that is not afraid to be the next target of this lslamic fundamentalist should carry the cover first. Una think say na Naija wey everybody dey carry talk. Omazo
ReplyDeleteY u self no show the pics?
ReplyDeleteWell Let's look at it this way: If Charlie had the right to mock people's religion, do we have the right to mock people's Sexuality? At least those are the two very sensitive things.
ReplyDeleteOfficer Ahmed died defending the right that Charlie had to mock his religion. I am not a muslim, I don't support the killing at Charlie but do I support Charlie making fun of people's religion? NO! Sony turned down the screening of #TheInterview. Because they didn't want to take chances with Human lives. Can Charlie do that? No!!! We are not modern day slaves to Charlie. Charlie has his opinion and we respect the fact that he has a right to have an opinion. That is it. Not everyone is Charlie. #JaNeSuisCharlie.
SOrry I am referring to Charlie as a person but I mean the entire establishment
Linda,some international media actually did carry the new cover.you can check the link below to confirm;so you can actually go ahead too if you want but then....

ReplyDeleteLinda it is more wisdom than fear. You know how these islamic extremists can be. They will start saying Prophet Mohammed is being mocked and use it to start mass killing of innocent people across the globe all in the name of fighting for Prophet Mohammed. We already have enough killings by these people...
ReplyDeleteThe cover is here--> http://www.businessinsider.com/this-will-be-charlie-hebdos-first-post-attack-cover-2015-1
ReplyDeleteThey're "afraiding" nah! Who wan die! The fear of terrorists is the beginning of journalistic wisdom! Lol! Abeg oh Linda don't carry it oh! There are enough terrorists here in 9ja to do the job oh!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.
ReplyDelete>>>> Terrorism can never win, and no one is afraid of the, the thing now is the world should refrain from using their prophet (Mohammed )in cartoons, hence its sensitive to them. <<<<
ReplyDeleteNo carry am ooh, make dem no come slaughter u nd laura...
ReplyDeleteThey are being wise.
ReplyDeleteBashing someone's belief and putting the prophet in funny and disrespectful cartoon art is uncalled for and all they do is hide behind the so called "freedom of speech".
If the government do not intervene in this section by telling the media to restrain or rather be caution of what they write about other people's religion, this ungodly massacre will continue.
Its a simple solution, They(Muslim) do not want you to disrespect their prophet, then honour that but instead the french media do otherwise.
Kudos to those that didn't use it and you shouldn't too Linda.
Well said!
DeleteBeen hearing about this so published new cover but not seeing pic. I had to google to see it. Everyone is afraid, no one wants to die now.
ReplyDeleteI understand there fear, but does it mean the whole world is afraid of fcuking islam.....they better publish it ooooo, so that this bastards will know we are not afraid of them.....not publishing it, will just be like a pat on there back

ReplyDeletewho wants the die? I guess people realize some of these terror's reach is far and deep.
ReplyDeleteWhat stopped you from(LINDA) carrying it,that's what stopped them also
ReplyDeleteBut why do you guys intentionally insult our religion and Prophet? Why?
ReplyDeletePls tell dem. A big diff btw freedom of speech and insult.
DeleteNations have become weak dogs because of a few demons, that is why we need God and the David's of this generation to rise
ReplyDeleteLove or Trust, Trust is much more important than Love. If someone loves me, it is more of that person’s business than mine. But if the same person trusts me, it places a duty on me to live up to that trust. In other words, Trust challenges one to reciprocate; Love might not always do that.....what's that ISSUE that gives you sleepless night in your relationship? Its time you talk to someone.

ReplyDeleteYour opinion isn't that smart is it? Terrorist hasn't won! We all should just be tolerant of one another and shouldn't go around deliberately offending people. Spread the love not insults!
ReplyDeleteWhy should a journal make mockery of a religious Prophet.Why?The killings were barbaric and unjustifiable but the publications also provocative.
ReplyDeleteI am a Christian but also feel there is the need to respect religious beliefs of others
As a Muslim, I’m fed up with the hypocrisy of the free speech fundamentalists

“Defending freedom of expression in the face of oppression is one thing; insisting on the right to be obnoxious and offensive just because you can is infantile,”
ReplyDeleteKhadr wrote. “Baiting extremists isn’t bravely defiant when your manner of doing so is more significant in offending millions of moderate people as well. And within a climate where violent response — however illegitimate — is a real risk, taking a goading stand on a principle virtually no one contests is worse than pointless: it’s pointlessly all about you.”
Fear of terrorists is the begining of wisdom.So oyibo they dey fear too? Choi! I think say na dem be shina rambo!
ReplyDeleteIt is totally disrespectful to be intentionally mocking people's beliefs. We need to respect and embrace each other's beliefs.
ReplyDeleteThis people are looking for trouble, just posting dat pic will give d extremists a very good reason to attack and kill, linda pls no post am wo
