I understand that. And the article contains BS.
But, to me, it is entirely irrelevant if I understand the satire in any Charlie Hebdo cartoon or article. What is relevant is that the Islamists think they have special rights to dictate to everyone what can and cannot be said or drawn. You either stand up to that kind of tyranny or you live under it.
Edit:
Oh, the poor fricking babies! All they have to do to not be "put-upon" is quit Islam. That is, quit being associated with a lunatic, murderous cult.
Edit:
"The elevation of such images to a point of high principle will increase the burdens on those minority groups," as Matt put it. "European Muslims find themselves crushed between the actions of a tiny group of killers and the necessary response of the majority society. Problems will increase for an already put-upon group of people."
