From The Jerusalem Post:
The recent massacre of journalists from the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris
recalls the 2006 Danish cartoons that depicted the Prophet Mohammad as a terrorist.
Meant to further debate about criticism of Islam and self-censorship, the caricatures
were met with violent protests by Muslims worldwide…. The author, [Mohammed Wattad],
is a visiting assistant professor at the University of California, Irvine, Department
of Political Science.
