Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy

Not a nice subject, I know. With the renewed wave of terror all around the country, the least we can do, as ordinary mortals, is to take our own personal measures.  

“Charlie Hebdo” editor Laurent Sourisseau told German magazine “Stern” that his publication will no longer publish cartoons of Mohammad.

A pile of explosives, 180 detonators and around 40 grenades were stolen from an army base in the southern French town of Miramas, a source close to investigations said on July 7. 

French authorities were transferring the man suspected of beheading his boss in an alleged jihadist attack to Paris on June 28, as it emerged he sent a macabre "selfie" of the decapitation.

Satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo stood by Greece in its front-page cover titled “Save Europe… Drown a Greek.”

The cartoon depicts IMF Chief Christine Lagarde drowning a Greek in a tub of water.

A soiree with some of Hollywood's biggest names held late May 21 near Cannes during the film festival raised $30 million (27 million euros) for the fight against AIDS.

One of the few cartoonists to survive an Islamist militant attack on France's Charlie Hebdo journal is leaving the publication, saying he can no longer bear the pressure.

A play based on a novel "Elementary Particles", written by the controversial French writer Michel Houellebecq, has been pulled from the program of the upcoming 66th Dubrovnik Summer Games.

You probably know what happened in Garland, Texas, on May 5. The "Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest" was attacked by two gunmen, who were killed by the police before they could cause any harm. Since then, a possible link between the two Muslim attackers and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has been sought and discussed.

A shootout between police and armed men in Garland, Texas has taken the gunmen's lives after they opened fire on the guests of an anti-Islam exhibition, local officials say.
