PARIS: Six months after Charlie Habdo (Charlie Weekly) attack which killed 16 people including staff members and two cops, the incumbent editor, Laurent Sourisseau, has said in an interview that more caricature of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) will not be drawn.
According to a report published on the Deutsche Welle website, the editor told the Hamburg-based news magazine “Stern” that, “We have drawn Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to defend the principle that one can draw whatever they want.
It is a bit strange though: we are expected to exercise a freedom of expression that no one dares to.”
Sourisseau, who survived the massacre carried out by two Muslim brothers, said the magazine had done what it set out to do.
“We’ve done our job. We have defended the right to caricature,” he said.
“We still believe that we have the right to criticise all religions,” said the editor who owns 40 per cent of the company’s shares.
