Security in inter-confessional relations
Charlie
Hebdo, the French satirical magazine brutally attacked last week by Islamic
extremists, once again published Wednesday its latest edition with a caricature
of the Muslim prophet on its cover -- a blasphemous move in the eyes of the
Islamic world -- which has triggered outcry and protests in many countries.
Although the international community has
strongly condemned the perpetrators and shown universal sympathy to Charlie
Hebdo as it lost a number of best-known cartoonists and other staff members in
the terrorist attack, the sympathy does not mean a global recognition of the
journal's depiction of Prophet Mohammed in its cartoon.
As a matter of fact, it is a common belief
of many that the magazine has blasphemed others' religious belief and stepped
over the boundaries of freedom of expression.
