German magazine next in line with a Mohammed caricature


The France24 news service decided to ask French expatriates around the Middle East what they think of Charlie Hebdo magazine’s decision to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, an event which prompted France to order “the closure of its embassies, schools, and embassies Friday in 20 countries, mostly in the Muslim world.” I’m not sure if this is a typo, or if France closed all of its embassies twice. Also, it’s sobering to note that the shuttered embassies are “mostly” in the Muslim world.
The first response related by France24 came from the manager of a French supermarket in Cairo, who said, “If someone in the street asks me what nationality I am, I will say I’m German.”
Ha! Nice try, Monsieur! But that won’t work anymore in a few days, when German satire magazine Titanic is set to “jump into the fray with an Islam issue of its own,” as reported by Der Spiegel. The cover will depict someone who might just be Mohammed, swinging a sword, in close proximity to former German first lady Bettina Wulff. One of those individuals will prove to be much easier to satirize than the other.
