Charb designed the "Equal Opportunities" anti-racist campaign, a poster in which a White boss tells a Black jobseeker : "I would really love to hire you, but...er... I don't like the color of your ... er.... tie."
And still, and still, and still, you will insist that he drew characters with "dark, but not black skin". What a joke. So the guy hated fundamentalism, and you turn that into a hatred of "dark, but not black skin" Muslims, so as to disparage his anti-fundamentalism message and turn it into a racist, bigoted, xenophobic hatred of Muslims. You want to turn Charb into a guy who hated dark-skinned people, and have the cheek of writing "think about it !", as though there was anything to think about.
So go on ! Turn Charb into a racist who hated "dark skinned people" ! Go on! Go on ! After all, depictions of the prophet are just examples of "crude orientalism". Never mind that the PAkistani or MAroccan governments use blasphemy laws to keep control of the masses! Who cares ! Maroccans, Saoudis, Pakistanis, are not "us", are they ? And now we see WHO the real racists are. Those who would happily help out religious conservatism control society it it means criticizing other progressives and socialists they don't agree with. Sickening.
