The Satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo confirmed that its latest edition contains several cartoons featuring Mohammed that the publication's editor said would "shock those who will want to be shocked." The magazine is due to hit the streets this week against a background of protests across the Islamic world over a crude US-made film that mocks Mohammed and portrays Muslims as gratuitously violent. However, France’s prime minister said today that a planned demonstration by people angry over a film produced in the US which insults the Prophet Mohammed will not be allowed to go ahead. This seems a bit hypocrytical to me. Can GP give France's position on free speech a closer look?
