In 2015, the French newspaper Shirley Abdo published the controversial cartoon of Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH). Which was debated not only in France, but around the world. Within days, the newspaper’s Paris office was attacked by armed men. Twelve people died on the spot. Among them were famous cartoonists from France. The gunman from the balcony said after the shooting in the newspaper office that he had taken revenge for insulting the great prophet.
The attack on Shirley Abdo’s office shocked the entire world. In fact, after that incident, public opinion was practically divided into two parts. One side opposed the Shirley Abdo cartoon. On the other hand, in a democracy, they have the right to publish such cartoons. Most people, however, opposed the shooting in the newspaper office.

Police arrested 12 men and a woman in the incident. All of them allegedly helped the gunmen. The trial will begin Wednesday in a French court. In fact, Shirley Abdo wants to record the date of the hearing. Its editor recently wrote: ‘The cartoon was first published in a Danish newspaper in 2005. Shirley Abdo reprinted it later. Then came the attack. Many times after that, many people requested to republish the cartoon. But we did not agree. We were waiting for a special day. The shooting hearing at Shirley Abdo’s office is scheduled to begin Wednesday. That is why this day has been chosen as the day of the reprint of the cartoon.
The question is, is it reasonable to republish the controversial cartoon? The discussions have started again. According to some, it would have been better not to provoke a new debate. However, French President Emmanuel Macron declined to comment. He says that nothing should be done to hurt the feelings of others. But do not comment on the Shirley Abdo cartoon. In a democracy, everyone has the right to freedom of expression. Respecting democracy is the biggest problem.
In fact, many support Macron’s views. According to them, it is inappropriate to interfere with the right to publish like the newspaper. But there are fears that the relaunch of the controversial cartoon could create tensions.
