I mean, they're an anti-clerical satirical weekly. Stretching way back, very anti-authoritarian. The mixed record here is only the performance of the media, which made Charlie Hebdo lonely, and it shouldn't have been.

And this is something that Michael and I in particular have talked about and written about many times, not just over the last 10 years, but over the last 35 since the fatwa was placed on Salman Rushdie for Satanic Verses. There was a moment there. Where there was a time for choosing among Western intellectuals, and they chose badly. They chose intersectionally.

They said, well, Rushdie and Jimmy Carter's words in an op-ed that he wrote for The New York Times just – Three weeks after the fatwa, you know, Russia is guilty of insulting Islam, you know, because people from Muslim countries are more oppressed than Catholics or than people from a majority opinion.

This was like a new introduction of cowardice on the part of the West kind of judging it in this way. And when the Danish cartoon crisis happened in 2006, which Danish newspapers published cartoons of Muhammad, no one cared. And then a bunch of imams in the Middle East started publicizing them months later. And then it led to a bunch of riots. That was the moment when the West...

writ large, should have reprinted those cartoons. I advocated for such when I worked for the LA Times very strenuously, and I lost very narrowly in the opinion section, and I feel ashamed to this day that I didn't win that argument because Charlie Hebdo was one of the only places that did that. And once you become an outlier, then you become a target.

And they became an outlier because of the cowardice of the West, and not just about reprinting cartoons. In the case of the New York Times, at one point, writing a file story about a statue of Muhammad that appeared on top of a New York courthouse for a half a century that no one cared about.

They wrote an article about this in the wake of one of the Charlie Hebdo controversies and didn't even run a file photo of the statue that existed. Oh my Lord. The historical photo.
