Editor’s note: on 7 January 2015, the office of Charlie Hebdo - TopicsExpress

Editor’s note: on 7 January 2015, the office of Charlie Hebdo was attacked by gunmen. 12 people are so far reported dead, and more injured. As context, we republish this 2007 article about the magazine. This month, the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo was put on trial after publishing, in its special issue of February 2006, the 12 Danish Muhammad cartoons, and a string of caricatures by well-known French artists. All were lampooning religious figures such as Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, along with their priests, imams, rabbis - name it. The cover image by Cabu, showed, under the headline Muhammad overwhelmed by fundamentalists, the Prophet covering his eyes with his hands and crying: Its hard to be loved by idiots. In this piece from the New Statesman in 2007, Agnes Poirier argues that we must not let discussion of immigration and security elbow out the more important debate on secularism and citizenship.
