It looks like a (struggling) French newspaper owned by Egyptian tycoon Rami Lakah has reprinted the notirious “Mohammed Cartoons” that have gotten the Islamic World rattling their sabres at Norway and Denmark.
Hey, what’s France got to lose? It’s not like there’s any cars left to burn, right?
(Just in case you’re wondering, Lakah is a Roman Catholic with dual French-Egyptian citizenship)
(Just in case you haven’t seen them before, Zombietime has assembled a collection)
(Just in case you’re allergic to the phrase “just in case” …)
Sounds like a case of “Don’t be evil, unless profitable” Googlism. “Don’t be offensive to ragheads unless profitable.”
The over/under on France surrendering to the Muslims is roughly two days.
I wanna SEE these cartoons. Gotta link??
Found them, heh, funny…
Muhammed on a cloud in “Paradise” being overrun with suicide bombers, he’s waving his arms, yelling “STOP!! We ran out of virgins!”

Reprint drawings.
“Enough lessons from these reactionary bigots!” France Soir editor Serge Faubert wrote in a commentary explaining why his newspaper had printed the cartoons.”
Entire world agog as French Press “staps on a pair”. Muslim world in a huff, tizzy, AND snit. Gouda embargoes predicted.
Mac,
I’ll take the under.
I won’t buy French, but I will start eating French Fries again.
Know who your true enemy is Laurence. If the French are willing to join the fight, I’d be willing to forgive and forget.
France is not our allie. They are our ex-allie. Just because we are cobiligerants on several issues doesn’t make them our friends.
Never trust the froggies.
Hm…the muslims aren’t offended by THESE cartoons…wonder why not? (sarcasm off)
Cartoons from the Arab world
Sorry, that was from me. Forgot to put my name.
Would be nice to see those drawings reprinted in more newspapers worldwide.
Just to prove that we do not do self-censorship, and we are not running scared because of death threats.
