I’m not Charlie. Everybody’s saying « Je suis Charlie, je suis Charlie ». No you are a « Charlot », no more. I’m not among those who say « serve them right ». As a Catholic it’s one of the commandment that I ought to abide by “Thou shalt not murder” […] but I most of all regret the thousands of dead, in the different wars around us. Innocent people who are killed by thousands. In Iraq, for example. Since the Americans messed it up, many innocent people have been killed and nobody cried about them. And now 12 dead, well it’s nothing compared to the thousands of dead since Hollande came up and about whom he – Hollande – don’t give a damn about, but really don’t! All dead are not equally as valuable. It’s a scandal. I’d like to see a demonstration for every Christian and Muslim that have been killed by the Islamic State, if there are demonstrations for Charlie Hebdo. It’s a case in which each dead has different value. I don’t agree. […] I’m not one of those idiots with a black board […], you are all people who have had a good life, full of emotions, you can’t have a good judgment and a logical and consistent reasoning if you are on emotion. It’s a little Dreyfus affair, emotion is in the mix, everybody’s passionate about it […]. The Iraqi Christians, there had three or four demonstrations, some SOS calls but that’s it. The dead in Palestine, too. Thousands of them, innocent people. […] We haven’t sent charities or whatever, we haven’t done anything. Let’s stop with this double standard.
And then all the political manoeuvring behind. Charb’s girlfriend is a former UMP, the economic columnist was an active political activist, I’m sorry but these are no simple journalists who defend freedom of speech, if there are politicians involved, it remains a very little independent reality. This was no unbiased newspaper. It wasn’t a newspaper for caricature and the burlesque. It wasn’t Molière. What they published was repugnant. I don’t like Voltaire but compared to them Voltaire was a brilliant and refined guy. So now I observe the facts and these guys were in (financial) trouble, […] an attack and now three public broadcaster are going to send them some funds. […] How can public broadcasters, paid by our tax money give funds to Charlie Hebdo. I don’t agree. I don’t want to send bucks to Charlie Hebdo! […] The state now pays Charlie Hebdo. It’s not normal. A British channel said they would give some 130k€. Google wants to give 250k€. Schwarzenegger said on his Facebook: “I subscribed to Charlie Hebdo and I beg all Internet users who follow me to do the same.” […] All this does not sound very clean to me. I’m only observing facts, in a depassionate way. […]
Some are dead, yeah, and you are shocked because it’s happening in France. You see that so far your life has been rosy and that nothing has happened around you. France is relatively calm, we are lucky to be living in France in the 21st century and since the second half of the 20th century it was relatively cool, we haven’t had too many attacks, too many killed. That’s where you have to realise how lucky you have been. You are dazed by 12 dead. Do you realise how many have been killed in other countries? Hundreds of them every year, political wars […], the Islamic State that brings phenomenal loads of dead … Heroes! Each time I’m turning up the radio, I hear “heroes are dead”, “Guys who died for freedom, the fatherland” and all. I’m going to tell you, in their lifetime they were bast*rds. Bast*rds because they put the lives of hundreds of people at risk. […] the lives of police officers – as we saw – who are there to protect them, the hundreds of French people living abroad, just because of their caricature because the “Islamist” – I’m talking about an Islamist and not about a Muslim – will say Charlie Hebdo is French and so he will kill French people. And then “heroes of freedom”? Stop with that. Charlie transgressed freedom because above freedom, you have respect. […] You have to respect people’s identity: it can be race, religion, a lot of things, you cannot behave that way, in public on top of that. In private, okay but in public, you can’t do that. You do a lot of harm. You bring trouble to people, they feel attacked. “Yeah but they were the only one to show to the others’ crap” etc etc. Religions, leave them alone. Because Catholicism hasn’t come to annoy you. Muslims, even the Jews, leave everybody alone. Some “Islamists” might have annoyed you but it’s not a reason to attack people that way. It’s ridiculous. If you don’t agree, you can always debate in an intelligent way, etc. You don’t do such obscene things on religion. That’s not freedom. There’s no respect. Freedom should be soaked with respect. If you can laugh about everything, then I can laugh at a disabled person, without anybody being shocked. His handicap is a part of his identity. Religion is part of the identity of millions of people. […] In public you can’t laugh about everything. And if you can laugh about everything, then why all this fuss around Dieudonné M’Bala M’Bala and around his acts. Why doesn’t he have the freedom to speak? If you have the right to say what you want, then leave Dieudonné alone. If Charlie Hebdo has the right to speak – in all impunity - with their disgusting obscenities – I’m only talking about the newspaper, not the persons, I didn’t know them –, then let Dieudonné speak in all impunity. […] You can laugh about everything, Dieudonné laughs about everything. “Yes but there’s a lack of detachment” [what an attorney general said at one of Dieudonné’s trials], baloney! […] That’s the evidence that you can’t laugh about everything. You have a double standard. Dieudonné is a dissident but Charlie Hebdo is respectable, not politically oriented at all, … So in the “je suis Charlie” logic, I’d rather identify with the millions of dead around the world, the Christians killed and the Muslims killed in order to protect the Christians and who had refused a certain “Islamic radicalism”. I’m rather one of those. On the other hand I can’t be one of them because I haven’t lived anything they have lived. I’m just a little crap who has always had everything he wished at home. I’m just myself. I can see as models, people that I found heroic but I’m just myself. […]
