Amanpour Calls Charlie Hebdo Terrorists ‘Activists’

AMANPOUR I think at ░░░░░░░░ point it s also ░░░░░░░░ very important to point ░░░░░░░░ that as we ve ░░░░░░░░ Charlie Hebdo has been ░░░░░░░░ provocative for a long ░░░░░░░░ time and proudly so ░░░░░░░░ the years it has ░░░░░░░░ some of what many ░░░░░░░░ find very offensive depictions ░░░░░░░░ it has been criticized ░░░░░░░░ mean now the White ░░░░░░░░ is defending freedom of ░░░░░░░░ and this and that ░░░░░░░░ back in 2012 the ░░░░░░░░ House criticized the cartoons ░░░░░░░░ in 2006 the French ░░░░░░░░ Jacques Chirac then criticized ░░░░░░░░ cartoons And I interviewed ░░░░░░░░ who was one of ░░░░░░░░ chief cartoonists and I ░░░░░░░░ him a few years ░░░░░░░░ was he not concerned ░░░░░░░░ pouring oil on fire ░░░░░░░░ he not worry about ░░░░░░░░ And he said to ░░░░░░░░ you know I am ░░░░░░░░ here to shock or ░░░░░░░░ This is what we ░░░░░░░░ We are simply you ░░░░░░░░ trying to satirize the ░░░░░░░░ of what s going ░░░░░░░░ the extreme corners of ░░░░░░░░ religion And perhaps it ░░░░░░░░ interesting to close out ░░░░░░░░ program with just a ░░░░░░░░ reflection of what the ░░░░░░░░ Stefan Charbonniere recently said ░░░░░░░░ basically said this will ░░░░░░░░ shock those who want ░░░░░░░░ be shocked And he ░░░░░░░░ told a newspaper I ░░░░░░░░ t feel as though ░░░░░░░░ m killing someone with ░░░░░░░░ pen I m not ░░░░░░░░ lives at risk When ░░░░░░░░ need a pretext to ░░░░░░░░ their violence they always ░░░░░░░░ it And this on ░░░░░░░░ day these activists found ░░░░░░░░ target and their targets ░░░░░░░░ journalists This was a ░░░░░░░░ attack on the freedom ░░░░░░░░ expression on press and ░░░░░░░░ satire CAMEROTA It s ░░░░░░░░ profound Christiane to hear ░░░░░░░░ words now that we ░░░░░░░░ that ten journalists inside ░░░░░░░░ office were killed including ░░░░░░░░ editor in chief and ░░░░░░░░ heard that the gunmen ░░░░░░░░ leaving said Charlie Hebdo ░░░░░░░░ dead.”
