DISQUS

Yes, that was quite dissapointing, but the owner of the paper is Egyptian, so go figure.. How will his Egyptian buddies react, when they find out he a plasphemist?

Besides I heard that, the employees continue their fight and demand their editor rehired.

It is so typical for them to cave from presure that I did not check, and I should have, the ownership of the newspaper. I really hope the employees will not give up.

"France-Soir" isn't giving up yet. The day after the director was fired, it rac some articles supporting it's publishing of the cartoons. The employees of "France-Soir" are demanding that the director be re-hired. As you can see, "France-Soir" is fighting back against it's Egyptian owner.
Besides, atleast one other French newspaper have published muhammed cartoons in support of free speech. France is still fighting back.

Thanks for this comment. It is not only France that fighting back, it is Europe fighting on its identity and future.
