Charlie Hebdo, a satirical French magazine, published cartoons that featured a figure that strongly resembles the Prophet Mohammed on Wednesday.
Though the magazine is known for its’ outrageous humor, the decision to run the cartoons has many feeling that Charlie Hebdo is pouring oil on what has become a fiery debate between the freedom of expression and offensive provocation. The timing of the issue also adds to the “fire” since it hit stands only eight days after the anti-Islam video ignited violent protests to occur that has resulted in many deaths, including one protest that led to the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
