Islamophobia or satire? Cartoonist Plantu on France’s caricature controversy

Published

on



Satirical cartoons have a long and colourful tradition in France that dates back to the Middle Ages, but in recent years they have inspired controversy – and horrific acts of violence such as the attacks against Charlie Hebdo in 2015. Nevertheless, cartoonist Jean Plantu says debate will win.

    All Abrahamic faiths are intolerant. Intolerance is literally written in the Bible and the Quran.

    You can make caricature of unknown person. Like Corrupted Minister, Lazy Worker or Drunk Driver. But not real person!! It’s humiliation!! You can’t put your shoes on the table and say it’s my democratic rights! Or you can’t split your father’s face and say I am just making fun. You did humiliation!!! And may Almighty makes you disable and Parkinson’s ASAP! Ameen!!!

    You euronews why don't you show the Charlie hebdo's cartoons to make people understand what it is really about? This is misinformation!!! These cartoons are extremely violent and is not about freedom at all. It is about abuse, humiliation and racism.

    People use the “Freedom of Speech” to justify Frances action. I am assuming they are invoking article 10 of ECHR, which is freedom of expression which includes paintings and books etc. Then in this case France is in the wrong as Article 10(2) of ECHR would tell them if they read the articles of human rights. France didn’t have problem removing offensive material in Garuady v France (2003), when criminal proceedings was brought against the author for public defamation of a group of people (Jewish community) and incitement to discrimination and racial hatred. So this is a precedent where it was found that this was not an infringement of Article 10 (Freedom of Expression) for the reasons above. Also in the case of Otto-Preminger-Institute v Austria (1994) where the feelings of the catholic religion was hurt because of a film and that film was removed and did not infringe Article 10 of ECHR. There’s a reason why Article 10(2) exists.

    offending religion is unacceptable to some here it seems.
    They have offended the people of other faith in their own countries for 1500 years to the extent of their annihilation. No bigger hypocrisy than that.

    There is a line that must never be drawn. Criticizing people and their actions should and is done so by observations and facts and sometimes subjective, that is fine because that is on an individual level, but when you begin to insult, not even criticize, a religion? Your not just insulting the religion but the many people that follow that belief. And going against a religion isn’t done so by fact or observation, it is by fear so anyone who goes against a religion may do so as they please but in doing so you are sharing the fact you are afraid of them and irrationally at that.

  13. @shaybs

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    No we won't. The West is at war with muslims and Islam.

  14. @nak7155

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    What part of no picture is allowed in Islam of holy prophets do freedom of expression lovers don't understand? There's no movie ever made on religious prophets including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad in Muslims countries, why? Because visual depictions of religious prophets or gods is against their faith let alone drawing humiliated cartoon.

  15. @bretskipper665

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    To care about your neighbours feeling is more lovely than your IDIOTS CARTOON..!!

    As an example, would you hurts your child feeling? Sure you wont go beyond a sensitive issue of child..same goes to this issue, we still must have a barrier on a sensitive issue among us even we are an open minded person

  16. @jazsm5385

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    When does satire go too far btw? You might say that you don't intend to humiliate the Muslims but how do you make sure that those living in France are not under attack by white supremacists??

  17. @aswitnessedbythelenses963

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    I don't understand anything anymore: when we
    make fun of black people we call it racism and
    when we mock Jews we call it anti-Semitism and
    when we mock women we call it sexism and when
    we mock Muslims we call it freedom of speech!
    Hypocrisy, blatant Hypocrisy!

    If the "preacher of freedom" can't endure his own insult from Erdogan then how can we endure the insult of our Prophet(P.B.U.H)

  19. @IrfanAli-vm9tr

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    Freedom of speech doesn't mean to disrespect religion that's it.

    you can't hurt the sentiments of 1.8 billion muslims on the basis of an individual act.

    Samuel patty killing was right or wrong that's another debate

  20. @abdulazim1976

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    Terrorism is one of the tactics of political struggle, with the aim of intimidation.
    The subjects of terrorist violence are individuals or non-governmental organizations.
    And since the purpose of these cartoons is the emergence of violence, enmity and hatred between people, it means that the international community must condemn and bring to justice All related organizations and governments that spread the ideology of political terrorism through insults, mockery and oppression of human rights. 
    The French government and their accomplices must be debated and the entire civilized society must be banished.  they must be held accountable and real punishment for their acts of terrorism. 
    Economic sanctions alone cannot be dispensed with; an international tribunal is needed to condemn all types of political terrorism.

    Charlie Hebdo, Emanuel Macron, Samuel Party, and other cowards are terrorists, they must be caught and eliminated.

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    Muhammad was a despicable human being. Drawing cartoons is the least you can do to show your disapproval of such pig and pedophile. If you like him, you must be ASHAMED of yourself.

  24. @asnairahpandi7829

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    You can do express your freedom of speech, draw filthy things about politics, the people but not religion. Let’s draw a line there.

    Why hasn’t he made cartoons about the Holocaust?

  26. @petrichor649

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    The impossibility of a religion dictating to the World what it can view, on pain of death, is not viable in advanced societies.

  27. @abdulmoeedahmad721

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    You disrespect an entire religion and offend a population of 1.9 billion and then call it freedom of speech. How absurd!!

  28. @adamsons8057

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    Misinformation, here by Euronews if you care about or tolerate freedom of speech, where is the interview of the insulted side?
    In France YOU CANNOT INSULT OR BURN THE FLAG or argue or deny the holocaust and the Armenian massacre. You can go to jail?
    But it’s ok to be racist or Islamophobic. Hypocrisy & intolerance at it’s best with your so called freedom of expression!!!

  29. @farhanmehmoodkiyani5812

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    a cartoon contest of Muhammad go fool yourself this happened with Jesus pbuh shame on christians but this will never gonna happen in Islam

  31. @lapun47

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    Explaining freedom of speech to a follower of the "religion of peace" is like explaining nuclear physics to a three year old.

  32. @ayaan3348

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    Using derogatory language on a black person – racism
    Using derogatory language on a jew – anti semitism
    Making fun of Islam and the Prophet – freedom of speech

    Is this fair?

  33. @fungkiediharja8162

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    So it is not ok to draw Holocaust cartoon but ok to draw Muhammad PBUH for insulting billions of Muslim? Hypocrisy at its best.

  34. @fungkiediharja8162

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    So all my comments condemning the cartoon with my supporting logic have been removed? Wow. Just wow. Freedom of speech they say.

  35. @HisamullahBeg

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    Perceptions are important, so why should emotions of a sizable population of the world aroused in the name of free speech?

  36. @abdulazim1976

    March 6, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    Dear

    Stop escalating the situation, you should all know the basic rules of behavior in society!
    Islam is for freedom of speech, but this freedom ends where honor, dignity, and the life of other people begin!
    It's elementary.
    No one can look at the honor of a woman just because he likes it.
    This is a crime.
    But you are so insolent for your impunity, and you think that you will always get away with everything. Just like your crimes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, what you did in your colonies around the world.
