Football star Antonio Rudiger became the latest notable name to be dragged into the furor this week, when he was forced to distance himself from a ‘like’ he had placed on an Instagram post by Khabib in which the UFC lightweight champion attacked Macron

rt.com/sport/506007-k…
Why is the picture of Macron not acceptable as 'satire' ?

Words & images can be grossly offensive in the spirit Hebdo

I don't get it
MP's call for footballer to be booted out of national team for a LIKE on social media post Image
potentially inciting violence towards Macron

potentially inciting violence by Hebdo cartoons when they present the Muslims prophet as a terrorist
(like Danish cartoons)

"I express my opinion but I don't impose it"

Irony of the French

They express their Freedom of Speech & now imposing it in the classroom
asking kids to look away as they are knowingly showing what universally accepted that Hebdo is grossly offensive
