Even though it was left-leaning, that didn't stop Muslim nutters fire bombing the offices of satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo after it "invited" the Prophet Mohammed as its guest editor this week.
The front-page of the weekly, subtitled "Sharia Hebdo," a reference to Islamic law, showed a cartoon-like man with a turban, white robe and beard smiling broadly and saying, in an accompanying bubble, "100 lashes if you don't die laughing."
No-one was injured in the fire that started around 1 a.m. in the offices of the weekly in eastern Paris, hours before the current issue hit the newsstands. The blaze destroyed all the paper's equipment.
"Everything will be done to find those behind this attack," said Interior Minister Claude Gueant, visiting the newspaper's burned and disheveled offices.
