Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Origin satire magazine French, Charlie hebdo, affirmed that the material they publish is dedicated to combating Islamism, intolerance, oppression and other forms of Islamic politics that are considered to threaten democratic practices in that country.
“We need strong action to stop Islamism, but also to condemn the slightest act, words that are intolerant or hateful against French people of immigrant origin,” reads the Charlie Hebdo editorial written by publisher Riss. , as reported Associated Press, Friday (10/30).
“Because France is not divided between Muslims and non-Muslims, between believers and non-Muslims, between people of French origin and French of immigrant origin. No, France is divided between democrats and antidemocrats,” the editorial continues.
The circulation of Charlie Hebdo magazine in France is small and small. For some local residents, the content is considered disgusting or sometimes too extreme.
However, French citizens ignore them because freedom of expression in that country is guaranteed by law.
The magazine caught the world’s attention by reprinting the cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, which was actually first published by a Danish magazine in 2005. For Muslims, the cartoon was a form of insult to the Prophet Muhammad SAW and condemned his editor.
As a result, Charlie Hebdo’s Paris editorial office was filled with Molotov cocktails in 2011. A year later, the magazine republished a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad, who was depicted nude.
At that time the French government said it was a form of freedom of expression.
Then in January 2015, there was a bloody tragedy. Two French citizens who were followers of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda attacked and opened fire on the Charlie Hebdo newsroom.
The incident claimed 12 lives, including the editor-in-chief and several cartoonists. The authorities also shot dead the two perpetrators.
Since then, the magazine has moved its editorial office. In September 2020, Charlie Hebdo republished the cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, welcoming the legal proceedings of several suspects who aided in the terrorist shooting that began to be tried in French courts.
In addition to the issue of Islam, Charlie Hebdo also raised the issue of the death of immigrant children, victims of the corona virus, drug addicts, neo-Nazi groups, the Pope, bishops, world leaders, Jews, and topics from politics to entertainment.
They even published a cartoon of the funeral of a history teacher, Samuel Paty, who was beheaded on his way home from work. He was killed because he allegedly raised the topic of free speech learning in class by showing cartoons of the prophet Muhammad SAW
Charlie Hebdo described the funeral as a cartoon of two coffins. Namely, a chest containing the body of the deceased and the head was raised by the officers separately.
