Next Charlie Hebdo has Mohammed on cover

Just reported on CNN. The new issue will come out tomorrow 1/14.

Also reported: the press run will be 3 million copies - TEN TIMES any previous run of the mag.

Off that news, Al-Qaeda announced that France has not learned its lesson in radical Islamic multiculturalism, and can expect more attacks.

An oxymoron if I even saw one.

I would guess that attacks would be expected whether or not they learned any lessons. That seems to be the only tool Al-Qaeda has.

I look forward to DUers saying Charlie Hebdo shouldn't have been so provocative and that the murderers are victims, too, 'cause blaming the actual victims and showing sympathy for their attackers just wasn't jaw-dropping enough the first time.

Religion has never been responsible for anything other than rainbows, chocolate, and puppy breath. What, religions should own the evil things they've done and continue to do? Now you're just being .

Here we go again: "Attacks were terrible BUT..."

This time it's the Go-To Guy for excusing the inexcusable, Rising Asswad...er, I meant Reza Aslan.

He explains why the Charlie Hebdo attack was REALLY the fault of France. (RELIGION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!1!).

The country just can't tolerate multiculturalism!

Jerry Coyne has a few good things to say about that theory.
