Cartoon time

We applaud that to coincide with t he t ri al of 14 people accused of helping the terrorists, French magazine Charl i e Hebdo has republished the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed over which so many were murdered in 2015.

Despite often before having been asked to reprint them, it is to their credit that they have said, until now, there was no good reason to do it. With hate speech currently in many conversations, how apposite it is now to again show the world what this was all about.
