French magazine to commit more blasphemy
2012-12-31
[Iran Press TV] French weekly Charlie Hebdo, known for its publishing of cartoons insulting Islam's most revered figure, Prophet Muhammad (PTUI!), says it is planning to publish more blasphemous cartoons.
Y'know, I've been liking La Belle France more and more every day...
The magazine made the announcement on Sunday, saying that a special edition with cartoons on the life of Prophet Muhammad (PTUI!) will be published on Wednesday.

"If people want to be shocked, they will be shocked," said Charlie Hebdo editor, Stephane Charbonnier.

In September, the same magazine published cartoons blasphemous against the Islamic sanctities, provoking widespread outrage worldwide.

The publication led to the temporary closure of several French institutes and cultural centers in some Mohammedan countries.

The September 19 sacrilegious caricatures appeared in the periodical after the emergence of a US-made film that insulted Islam's holiest figure.
