2. DO NOT THREATEN US
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (01.24.15)
Masoud Ganaim can go threaten his mama.
3. Charlie
(01.24.15)
Oh, really? Now fanatic Muslims are telling me what I can and cannot read? And in my own home? OK, I will not buy the magazine in Israel, and Steimatzky should hide its face and hand its head in shame, I will pay 140 euros a year and subscribe, and then make sure my copy is passed around to as many people as possible.
4. Hypocrisy at it's Best
ik ,   USA   (01.24.15)
Where is Ganaim and/or his comments when his reverent imans send out their constant anti-Semantic and anti-Israel screed?
5. Hebdo needs to be sold on Temple Mount on Friday
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.24.15)
6. Why show respect for those who have no respect for us?
Economist ,   Be'er Sheba Israel   (01.24.15)
How have we allowed ourselves to come to this situation where we actually fear speaking our minds when it comes to talking about an ideology and culture that is built on intolerance of everything except itself? How long will people put up with this bullying? History shows us what happens when we ignore those who preach hatred against us and accuse us of every imaginable thing. People like this MK ought to consider that maybe at some point many of us will be willing to engage in tit-for-tat. Maybe we'll even have the same general National pride and confidence that saw us through the events of 1967.
7. Ceci n'est pas une pipe
Pygmalion ,   Berlin, Germany   (01.24.15)
Does he really believe this comic-guy is Muhammad?
8. About the article of the distribution!
Adam Sanchez ,   Rishon Letzion   (01.24.15)
Why is it what I cannot understand if this so-called ARAB Representive call for the Israeli Prime Minister to stop the distribution of this French Publication of this Magazine because supposedly will harmed the sensibility of the Arab community of Israel then I asked you how about when "THEY" go out all the way into making cartoons everytime there is a terrorist attacked against Jews as an example what happened recently in Tel Aviv of the cowardly stabbing incident who the coward was honored by all ARABS as in Gaza! Who is in charged here us or them?
9. There is one thing
Jon ,   UK   (01.24.15)
that I do not understand, and it applies to many people with "deeply held" views about anything ... although Muslims are the most extreme example. When something that you deeply believe in is ridiculed, why is the response medieval and barbaric rather than just a turning of the other cheek ? Who cares ? People can insult me as much as they like, it says a lot about them. I am not in the least concerned.
10. #4 ik: Well said!
David ,   Israel   (01.24.15)
11. MK Masoud Ganaim resorts to threats!
Ben   (01.25.15)
What is he so afraid or ashamed of? the truth is in the open. For example Beheadings intended for psychological warfare is indeed recorded in passages as "striking at the necks" of disbelievers as waging war at them. as Prophet followers believe that God ordained them to obliterate their enemies. The disbelievers of Islam and the purpose of terrorism in general is to strike fear and win a political concession. If the left intelligentzia still chooses to live in denial - as it is now trhe world will go back to the dark ages
