French magazine Charlie Hebdo published a cartoon of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed kissing a man with the words "Love is stronger than hate." It was a joke, who cares.
The magazine's office was exploded -- we're talking a bomb delibirately placed to hurt people and damage property -- and the controversy has gained global attention. Gawker calls Charlie Hebdo "the ballsiest magazine in the world. It's time to send protestors a message: Freedom of speech is a basic human right, and you will inevitably become offended by someone else's worldview. The solution is NOT to censor and vilify every possibly offensive graphic, text, or opinion.
Let France know that censorship is unethical. Let the people speak, doesnt matter if you disagree with the message. In the age of the internet, offensive stuff is going to come out, deal with it people. SUPPORT free speech with this petition.
