Iran lashes out at France over new Charlie Hebdo cartoons

The French government, while defending free speech, has rebuked the privately-owned magazine in the past for fanning tensions.

Iran has been gripped by nationwide protests for nearly four months following the death in mid-September of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who had been detained by Iran’s morality police for allegedly violating the country’s strict Islamic dress code. Women have taken the lead in the protests, with many stripping off the compulsory Islamic headscarf in public. The protesters have called for the overthrow of Iran’s ruling clerics in one of the biggest challenges to their rule since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that brought them to power.

Charlie Hebdo, which has published similarly offensive cartoons about dead child migrants, virus victims, neo-Nazis, popes, Jewish leaders and other public figures, presents itself as an advocate for democracy and free expression. But it routinely pushes the limits of French hate speech laws with often sexually explicit caricatures that target nearly everyone.

The paper drew fire for reprinting caricatures of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad that were originally published by a Danish magazine in 2005. Those cartoons were seen as sacrilegious and deeply hurtful to Muslims worldwide, many of whom nevertheless condemned the violent response to the drawings.

As if Iran didn’t have other issues to mind about…

lap dogs for oil - but its okay to rape and kill teenage girls for violating fashion accessory guidelines

Deal with it Iran, they don’t care what you think and why should they ….

Hurra

MullahsGetOut we hate IRGC and Islamic regime in Iran. We are fighting for freedom and democracy.MahsaAmini

Charlie Hebdo, plsss... history is for us to learn from the past not to repeat same mistakes!

France? You're always finding ways to show off your hatred towards Islam. Hiding behind some nonsense of free speech. Why don't make me one caricature for you own religion,huh? What about past Church sex scandals? 'But the cursed and damned's heart only see darkness for light'.

The tender little feelings of those poor Iranian authorities are destined to be in a permanent state of butthurt.

Iran's regime should've developed a sense of humor by now. There's a lot more where that came from.

Iran's just jealous it doesn't have the same control over media that the corporate establishment has over media in America.

To clarify, it is not Iran. It is the Islamic Republic regime in Iran.

France can do what it wants, why do they have to live by Iran’s ignorant suppressive government? Who cares what they demand while they beat women/girls who want to be acknowledged beyond an indentured servant “wife”.

AlirezaNader womp womp

Hope he gets the Gaddafi treatment.

I agree! Because both faces from you and your Khamenei not needed for caricatures while they look like the same in reality 🤣

Don't they make a big thing of literally chanting 'death to america' there?

The Islamic regime think all governments have to dictate to media what to do or not to do. Like they’re doing to their own media 😂

Iran offended by cartoon as they beat their women.

FAFO

Amazing caricatures… why don’t you show them ?

Hey Iran!! Get bent! 😂😂😂🤷‍♀️

Boys with a gripe. Guys, you are what you are. And, IRAN, stop the drones. Well, one day your people will be certain of a win.
