[QUOTE="ImWaitingForTheDay, post: 1497612, member: 48031"] Interesting the number of world leaders who marched in Paris in solidarity with Charlie Hebdo. Included in their number were: the PM of Turkey whose regime imprisons more journalists than any nation on earth, Netenyahu, whose government killed 7 journalists in GAza last year, the Russian Foreign Minister whose government jailed a journalist for "insulting a government servant," the PM of Tunisia who jailed a blogger for "defaming the army," the PMs of Georgia and Bulgaria whose regimes beat and jail journalists, the President of Mali whose government expels journalists for exposing human rights abuses, the Foreign Minister of Bahrain whose government is the 2nd biggest jailer of journalists in the world, the Palestinian PM who had journalists jailed for insulting him in 2013, the Saudi ambassador to France whose government just had a journalist flogged for "insulting Islam," the Sheikh of Quatar who jailed a journalist for 15 years for writing a poem, etc, etc. It would have been less hypocritical for them to have simply called it a photo-op and been done with it. Good thing Fareed lacks a sense of irony... [/QUOTE]
