“It is telling that Charlie Hebdo chose Mohammed as “guest editor”, rather than a contemporary figure who could express an accurate reflection of French Muslim opinion on current affairs — instead, it chose the route of ease, ascribing archaic and reactionary ideas to a sacred figure, his ideas rigidified and frozen in a literalist caricature, which although undoubtedly humorous in parts, is completely out of sync with how most Muslims understand Islam’s relationship to the modern context.”

Er, as in Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Morocco, Turkey, Iraq, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Sudan, Nigeria, Palestine, Syria, India, Libya, Algeria, the Balkans and Kuwait?

Did you mean to invoke the surely overwhelming predominance of liberalist attitudes in those countries to homosexuals, women, socialists and religious minorities? Perhaps the gaining importance of religion in the lives of Muslim youth will bear this supposition out in short order, but any rational person would laugh at such a postulation.

Why do certain Muslims get to decide what millions of other Muslims around the world find offensive?

Fundamentalist Muslims are telling non Muslims what they should and should not write. It is none of their business. Pictures of Mohammed were common throughout the Islamic World in days gone by. Many western fundamentalist Muslims today want everyone Muslim or non Muslim to abide by their rules, and in extreme cases, firebomb and even try to kill those who don’t do what they say. These people should move back to Islamic countries that have Shariah law.
