Let's not let cartoonists get involved in a war of any kind, except for a war against stupidity.

Religion and political cartoons, as you may have heard, make a difficult couple, ever since that day of 2005, when a bunch of cartoonists in Denmark drew cartoons that had repercussions all over the world - demonstrations, fatwa, they provoked violence. People died in the violence.

I don't think any media has to feel obliged to show the cover of 'Charlie Hebdo.'

Today, fear of bloodshed is forcing us into recognizing new taboos: those of Muslims.

We have learned the lines of good taste through history and our sense of guilt, be it post-colonial or post-Holocaust.

A real totalitarianism is at work in the world and wants to impose its views not only on Arab Muslims, but on the West. The same way that they veil women, Islamic radicals want to veil cartoons in the press.
