Edit: Damn, did not expect this to turn into today’s struggle sesh.
Here’s my both sides/both sides take. Should people be executed for drawing, publishing or showing hateful cartoons? Probably not.
What grosses me out is how Enlightened Secular France has spent centuries colonizing and brutalizing muslims and continues to oppress them with discriminatory laws while acting like the entire point of Free Speech TM is the right to degrade a profoundly marginalized minority.
As someone brought up in this thread, the whole Mohammad cartoon controversy reminds me of the perennial debate “why would a black person get violent if you call them the n-word, it’s just a word.” Context matters, when you purposely provoke an oppressed minority by shoving the thing they find most offensive in their face, you may get a violent reaction.
I don’t think this guy deserves to die at all, but Charlie Hebdo is very racist and it’s gross how people rally around it like it’s this bastion of free speech.
That said, death to A Wyatt Mann. Inshallah.

I don't think it's reasonable, I think it's understandable why they would target Charlie Hebdo for these cartoons.
The cartoon is just another way of making the point that "Islamic" extremists really don't in any way represent Islam and are just as dangerous to Muslims as anybody else, they would even kill the Prophet Muhammad.
Oh and I said ISIS because the source where I was reading more about the comic said that. That's all.

Probably the same thing as if Jesus presented himself to a fundamentalist christian in America.
