Charlie Hebdo: Blasphemisch wie gewohnt

Wo nehmen diese Männer bloß die Kraft her? Eine Woche, nachdem Terroristen in Paris einen Anschlag auf die Redaktion von „Charlie Hebdo“ verübt und zwölf Menschen umgebracht haben, melden sich die überlebenden Zeichner und Journalisten an diesem Mittwoch mit einer neuen Ausgabe des Satireblattes zurück. Als ob nichts gewesen wäre – oder jedenfalls fast so.

Das am Dienstag in der linksliberalen Tageszeitung „Libération“ vorab veröffentlichte Titelblatt „Charlie Hebdos“ zeigt den Propheten Mohammed. Aus dem Auge des Religionsstifters kullert eine Träne, in den Händen hält nun auch er ein Transparent mit dem um die Welt gehenden Bekenntnis zu Opfern und Meinungsfreiheit: Ich bin Charlie. „Alles ist vergeben“, steht darüber. Typisch „Charlie Hebdo“ ist das wieder.


 Die übliche Blasphemie eben, wie sie seit Jahrzehnten in keiner Ausgabe des religionskritischen Blattes fehlen darf. Von Einschüchterung durch den islamistischen Terror keine Spur. Von Traumatisierung durch das Massaker, kollektiver Depression durch den Verlust von Freunden und Kollegen genauso wenig.........................http://www.fr-online.de/terror/charlie-hebdo-blasphemisch-wie-gewohnt,29500876,29559702.html

  1. Russian watchdog briefs media on how to avoid inciting religious discord...

    Russia's media watchdog said on Tuesday it had conducted what it described as preventative briefing of the country’s central and regional media on how to avoid publishing materials that might incite religious discord.

    In response to a query regarding the instructions the watchdog's Kamchatka branch issued to local media against publishing religion-related cartoons Roskomnadzor literally said this: “In connection with the tragedy in France, Roskomnadzor has conducted preventative work with a number of Russian federal and regional media. It has addressed the editorial offices with a reminder of the Russian law prohibiting the use of mass media for extremist activities.”

    “Under the law, any act insulting other religions' sanctuaries can be regarded as incitement of religious discord. This is a direct violation of provisions of the federal laws on mass media and on resistance to extremist activities,” Roskomnadzor said.

    “There can be no excuse for terrorists’ actions,” it said, warning Russian media against “fanning sectarian tensions in Russian society.” The watchdog asked them to use “other ways of expressing solidarity” with the victims of last week's extremist Islamist attack on the office of France's satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris.

    A Russian journalist in Kamchatka earlier published a letter from Roskomnadzor on Facebook saying distribution or even publication of hyperlinks to caricatures of religious figures would be seen as a violation of the law.

  3. Assad macht Europa für Terror im Nahen Osten und in Paris verantwortlich ...

    Laut dem syrischen Präsidenten Baschar Assad ist Europa in hohem Maße an den Vorgängen in Syrien und am jüngsten Geschehen in Paris schuld, wo Terroristen die Redaktion der Wochenschrift „Charlie Hebdo“ überfallen haben.

    „Die westlichen Politiker sind kurzsichtig und denken in Schubladen… Die aktuellen Ereignisse (in Paris) müssen die europäische Politik, die an den Vorgängen in unserer Region und an dem jüngsten Geschehen in Frankreich schuld ist und möglicherweise auch daran, was sich früher in manchen europäischen Ländern abgespielt hatte, zu einer Antwort aufrufen“, sagte Assad in einem Interview für die Prager Wochenschrift „Literarni noviny“.

    Der syrische Staatschef drückte den Angehörigen der Terroropfer in Paris sein Beileid aus.

    „Wir wollen auch vielen Menschen im Westen ins Gedächtnis bringen, dass wir seit Anfang der Syrien-Krise von solchen Folgen sprechen. Wir sagten zum Westen, dass der Terrorismus nicht unterstützt und nicht politisch geschützt werden darf, da dies alles Auswirkungen für die Länder und Menschen im Westen haben werde. Man schenkte uns aber kein Gehör“, so Assad..............http://de.sputniknews.com/politik/20150114/300597793.html

  4. EXPLAINED: Police raid over Charlie Hebdo’s Turkish version ...

    1) What did Turkish daily Cumhuriyet publish?

    As a supplement, Cumhuriyet published a selection from Charlie Hebdo’s much-anticipated Jan. 14 issue in support of free speech. On its front page, the newspaper stressed that it “compiled the selection by respecting religious sensitivities and the freedom of belief,” as well as its own publishing principles that reject ethnic and religious discrimination. As a result, the cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad on the original issue of Charlie Hebdo on Jan. 14 did not appear in the supplement or the front page of Cumhuriyet, due to the aforementioned “sensitivities.”


    2) Then why was all the fuss?
    Ceyda Karan and Hikmet Çetinkaya, two columnists of Cumhuriyet, published the original Charlie Hebdo cover depicting the Prophet Muhammad on their columns inside the main newspaper. Police were mobilized at midnight when it was still not clear which Charlie Hebdo content the newspaper would publish and at which spot. While the initial social media storm after midnight targeted Cumhuriyet as a whole, it gradually changed in the morning before the online threats and stories in pro-government newspapers targeting them and became more focused on the two columnists.


    3) How did the police raid unfold?

    Cumhuriyet’s Editor-in-Chief Utku Çakırözer told CNN Türk television that a press prosecutor, who ordered the police raid, checked the content of the newspaper just before the trucks were leaving the printing center to distribute the issue. “It took some 40 minutes. Then he saw there was nothing illegal in the content and let the trucks go to distribute our newspaper,” Çakırözer said, stressing that their columnists voice their opinions freely. The continued presence of police in front of the Cumhuriyet headquarters in Istanbul, on the other hand, aimed at protecting the newspaper against possible attacks.....................http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/explained-police-raid-over-charlie-hebdos-turkish-version.aspx?pageID=238&nID=76969&NewsCatID=339

  10. Le créateur de «Je suis Charlie» horrifié par les dérives commerciales ...

    «Le slogan est né spontanément.» À l'antenne de RTL, Joachim Roncin, le créateur de «Je suis Charlie» est revenu sur les raisons qui l'ont poussées à mettre en ligne ce logo. «J'étais sur Twitter quand les événements se sont passés. J'étais choqué comme tout le monde. J'avais envie de m'exprimer en tant que journaliste et en tant qu'être humain. J'ai juste accolé les mots “Je suis” à celui de “Charlie” pour exprimer un sentiment d'appartenance. J'ai ajouté un fond noir en signe de deuil. Le logo devait être percutant. On m'a toujours dit qu'il ne fallait pas mettre plus de huit mots. Donc, j'en ai utilisé trois.»

    Avant la diffusion de son slogan, le journaliste n'était suivi que par 400 followers sur Twitter. Il n'a pas imaginé l'ampleur de son acte: «Je n'ai pas conscience du développement mondial du slogan. C'est humainement impossible à réaliser. Je suis estomaqué de voir Les Simpson le reprendre. C'est un très bel hommage à Charlie Hebdo, mais aussi à la République.»..................http://www.lefigaro.fr/culture/2015/01/16/03004-20150116ARTFIG00247-le-createur-de-je-suis-charlie-horrifie-par-les-derives-commerciales.php

      Vendredi 16 janvier, une manifestation contre l'hebdomadaire satirique "Charlie Hebdo" a dégénéré à Zinder, la deuxième ville du Niger, située dans le sud, où au moins trois civils et un gendarme ont été tués, selon le ministre nigérien de l'Intérieur.

      "Tout a commencé ce matin juste après la prière. Plusieurs centaines de personnes ont déferlé sur la ville en sortant des mosquées, en hurlant des slogans hostiles à 'Charlie Hebdo'", raconte Jean-Karim Fall, journaliste à France 24, spécialiste de l'Afrique. "Ils se sont attaqués à un certain nombre d’édifices religieux. La mission catholique a été entièrement saccagée. Ils ont également totalement détruit et incendié une école catholique.

    Almost half of those in France believe cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed – like those printed by satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo – should not be published, a poll said Sunday, with a similar number in favour of “limitations” on free speech.

    The recent attack by Islamic extremists at the offices of Charlie Hebdo that killed 12 people in apparent revenge for publishing cartoons of Mohammed has led to a fierce defence of France’s freedom of speech laws by politicians, media and millions of French citizens – including at a huge unity march in Paris on January 11.

    But an Ifop poll published in France’s Journal du Dimanche (Sunday Journal) paints a much more divided picture of French attitudes towards what is considered a key facet of the country’s republican values.................http://www.france24.com/en/20150118-poll-nearly-half-french-oppose-mohammed-cartoons-charlie-hebdo-free-speech/
