7. As Francoise says, Charlie Hebdo is hugely important historically (as outgrowth of 1968) even if much of the satire is unfunny & queasy

8. On the other side,
@artgoldhammer has a smart, deeply informed critique of Hebdo-style satire:http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/5/pen-america-charlie-hebdo-and-the-virtue-of-self-restraint.html …7 replies 10 retweets 18 likes -

9. I don't agree with Art's conclusions but he's worth reading (as always) because he actually, you know, knows what he's talking about

10. The point I'm making is a simple one: this is a fairly complicated issue so it's worth going to informed sources, not instant experts.

@dick_nixon Complexity is how we judge Charlie Hebdo. Are they like Pam Geller or are they something else.4 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@HeerJeet@dick_nixon How does judging Charlie Hebdo enter in it? Journalistic freedom or not. Terrorists are not judge, jury and executors1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@HeerJeet@dick_nixon If one thinks PEN award not appropriate, that is justification for the murders. Viz. G. Trudeau.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@dmking316 That's absurd. If you think CH is racist, as Trudeau does, then award is wrong. I disagree with Trudeau but that's his argument.
