andrew, if i contributed to a misunderstanding, i apologize. i don't know if charlie hebdo is islamophobist or not. i don't really even like that term and try not to use it. separately, i looked at some of their cartoons and found them provocative at best. given the large arab muslim population in france, i consider their publishing of them to be race baiting, just as i would find klan cartoon depictions of black religious practices race baiting in selma, alabama. nevermind that i am not religious, believe religion to be a great blight and might even privately laugh at satiric depictions of religion. most people are religious and there is little to gain in rubbing their nose in their folly. at best it's bad manners. and yes, i question charlie hebdo's motivations in publishing the cartoons and subsequently any claim they have to being of the "left". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Pollack via Marxism" <marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> To: "Charles Faulkner" <lacena...@comcast.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 7, 2015 9:49:28 AM Subject: Re: [Marxism] Lenin's Tomb on Charlie Hebdo ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. ***************************************************************** I've lost the place in the thread where there are links to examples of the magazine's Islamophobia.
